Locked On Women's Basketball has taken you inside the 2023 Women's Final Four in Dallas all weekend, and this show from just after the national title game was no different. A 102-85 win for LSU gave the Tigers the title over Caitlin Clark and Iowa, and Angel Reese punctuated the performance with some on-court celebrating. But guess what?
