Time, TV and notes for Monday’s NCAA women’s basketball tournament regional-final game between No. 2 Iowa and No. 8 LSU.

Following LSU’s win over UCLA in Saturday’s NCAA women’s basketball regional semifinal, Tigers Coach Kim Mulkey was asked about an “us-against-the-world mentality.” Here’s what she said.

NCAA women’s basketball: You wanted an Iowa-LSU NCAA rematch? You got it, Monday night for a Final Four berth.

NCAA women’s basketball: Iowa eliminates Colorado in the Sweet 16 for the second straight year, 89-68. Next up Monday: LSU for a berth in the Final Four.

In the final year before its members scatter, the Pac-12 has five teams in the Sweet 16. Colorado and UCLA make up half of the Albany-2 semifinal field while Oregon State met Notre Dame in the Albany-1 semifinals.

Second-ranked Iowa and No. 17 Colorado collide in an NCAA women’s basketball regional semifinal Saturday at MVP Arena. Last year, the Hawkeyes claimed an 87-77 decision over the Buffaloes in a Sweet 16 encounter at Seattle, then eventually advanced all the way to the national-championship game.

Here’s a look at this week’s four Albany-2 combatants at MVP Arena. It’s LSU vs. UCLA, then Iowa vs. Colorado on Saturday.

Gabbie Marshall’s block and Sydney Affolter’s three-point play ignited Iowa in a late-game surge against West Virginia, and on to Albany for the Sweet 16.

Defense — and free throws — saved the day, and No. 2 Iowa fought past West Virginia, 64-54, in an NCAA women’s basketball second-round game before a sellout crowd of 14,324 Monday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

NCAA women’s basketball: Iowa’s 92.8-point scoring rate leads the nation; so does West Virginia’s plus-8.8 turnover differential. The Hawkeyes and the Mountaineers collide Monday with a spot in the Sweet 16 on the line.

The most decorated outgoing class in Iowa women’s basketball history will make its Carver swan song Monday night, when the second-ranked Hawkeyes face West Virginia in an NCAA second-round game. The sentimentality will subside sometime well before tipoff.

Hannah Stuelke didn’t play in the second half of Iowa’s 91-65 first-round NCAA women’s basketball tournament win over Holy Cross. The Hawkeyes’ second-leading scorer and an all-Big Ten second-teamer, Stuelke confirmed afterward that she was suffering from “probably” a migraine.

A stretch without Caitlin Clark, a 10-0 gem late in the first quarter, sprung Iowa out of a small early hole, and the second-ranked Hawkeyes subdued Holy Cross, 91-65, in the first round of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament before a sellout crowd of 14,324 Saturday afternoon at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
