Caitlin Clark has the eyes of the college basketball world, and she can reach new heights if she leads the Iowa Hawkeyes to a victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks in the women's Final Four semifinals. Read on for our Caitlin Clark player props based on the top NCAAB odds.

The biggest star in the sport takes on the juggernaut of women’s college basketball during the nightcap of Friday’s Final Four doubleheader in Dallas. This Clark-led Iowa squad is a double-digit underdog to South Carolina, which is trying to become the first back-to-back champ since UConn in 2015 and 2016.

Clark is coming off the first-ever 40-point triple-double in Division I NCAA Tournament history, when she finished with 41 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds during a 14-point win over Louisville in the Elite Eight.

What kind of numbers will Clark put up with a national championship game appearance on the line?

Here are our best Caitlin Clark player prop picks for Friday’s Final Four showdown between Iowa and South Carolina (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Caitlin Clark Under 7.5 rebounds (-120) ⭐⭐⭐

Betting against Clark might not seem like a fun strategy, but hear me out. Prior to collecting 10 rebounds in her triple-double against Louisville, Clark had grabbed three rebounds in back-to-back games. She is averaging 7.3 rebounds per contest, clearing this number twice in the last six games.

South Carolina dominates the glass, ranking second in the country with an average of 49.6 rebounds per game. Aliyah Boston, the team’s best player who is projected to be the No. 1 pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft, leads the way with 9.8 rebounds per contest.

Clark could very well put up video-game numbers once again on Friday, but we will bet against that happening on the glass. Especially since FanDuel has set this line at 6.5, with the Over priced at -128. Take the extra board of breathing room at DraftKings when making your Iowa vs. South Carolina predictions.

Caitlin Clark Over 8.5 assists (-102) ⭐⭐⭐

Now let’s balance things out with an Over, which is being offered at FanDuel this time around. DraftKings has actually set Clark’s assist prop at 9.5, priced at -110 on each side initially, but now down to -102 for the Over just ahead of tip-off.

Clark, who was named the AP Player of the Year on Thursday, leads the nation with an average of 8.6 assists per contest. She has tallied a dozen assists in three of the four NCAA Tourney games thus far, clearing this mark in five of the last six contests.

Clark’s wizardry as a passer is on full display in transition, which is how the Hawkeyes will need to score against a strong Gamecocks defense. But don’t be surprised if South Carolina tries to force the ball out of Clark’s hands more, leading to more assist opportunities for a player with such a high usage rating.
