Hello, I'm GhostRiver. I'll be reviewing this article against the good article criteria. By doing so, I am earning points for the WikiCup and the January 2025 GAN Backlog Drive. Although a quid pro quo review is not necessary, it is appreciated. You can see what open good article nominations I have here.

I will go through the article section by section checking it against the criteria. Once I have finished my review, I will place the article on hold, giving you seven days to respond. If you need more time, just reach out! While I'll always put the article on hold once it's ready for you to look at, you may start making changes before I complete my review. — Ghost River 21:08, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GhostRiver Thank you for the detailed review! Everything has been fixed or responded to. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:14, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, passing now. Regarding writing out numerals, I will say that having numbers for double-digits is easier on my dyslexia, so I would recommend doing so in the future, but you're right—not strictly MOS. — Ghost River 21:53, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Iowa's Caitlin Clark became the first player to score 30 points or more in two championship games. Can't find this linked in the article body.

They finished 15–3 in the conference, with those losses coming on the road to Ohio State and Indiana, along with Nebraska, which rallied from 14 points down in the 4th quarter to send Iowa home with a defeat. Caitlin Clark earned consensus national player of the year honors. Neither of these are cited by ref [4].
- Added refs for all. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:17, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, there are multiple player of the year awards - which one did Clark win? (I know it's "all of them," but that needs to be written out)
- "all of them" is already written out with the use of the phrase "consensus player of the year" rather than just "player of the year". PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:17, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Link Big Ten Conference
- Linked at first mention in section. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:17, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
More odd/awkward reference placement in the second paragraph. End of relevant sentence where possible.
- Not sure why I did that so much, fixed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:17, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

South Carolina Gamecocks

Not sure why AP poll is linked here and not in its first mention (in the Hawkeyes section)

Starting lineups

Would write out "Source: ESPN" before the actual cite

Game summary

"twenty-two" → "22" per MOS:NUM
- The MOS says that Integers greater than nine expressible in one or two words may be expressed either in numerals or in words (emphasis present in source text)
"eighteen points in the first quarter was" → "18 points in the first quarter were"
- Changed "was" to "were". PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"fifty-one" → "51" per MOS:NUM
- See above. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Media coverage

Formatting of first sentence is a little awkward - is it the second time this game was covered with this specific broadcast crew?
- reworded to clarify what I meant. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
with alternate broadcast The Bird & Taurasi Show with Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi on ESPN and ESPN+, along with rail cam and data-enhanced ("Beyond the Rim") broadcasts on ESPN+. Whoa. That's a lot of "with"s in one clause
- Whoa indeed. Fixed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
write out "percent" per MOS:PERCENT
- Done. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
who had drawn 14.2 million viewers → which had drawn 14.2 million viewers
- Done. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath

This section feels a little thin - would mention that this was Staley's third title as head coach. Maybe also the players from both teams picked in the WNBA draft
- Added some. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:11, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

References and links

Reference [1] is improperly formatted
- Done. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:13, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WL error in reference [26] (The Hill)
- Fixed. I always forget that the pipe trick doesn't work within a reference. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:13, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
