The main headline during Monday night's Iowa-LSU Elite Eight matchup was clearly Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese. 

The much-discussed relationship between the two superstars took center-stage while both teams fiercely battled for a spot in the Final Four. And while the two went head-to-head, ESPN's broadcast team, headlined by Holly Rowe, gracefully called the game. 

Rowe, as she's done for so long, nailed it on Monday night. Providing insightful reporting into the relationship of Clark and Reese, providing great interviews with participating coaches, up-to-date injury reports, and more. 

Fans made it clear that their admiration for Rowe's reporting was at an all-time high on Monday night. 

"Holly Rowe is so good at these in-game interviews. She paid attention to what was going on early in the game and asked Kim Mulkey a relevant, detailed question about strategy. Refreshing in a part of the broadcast that frequently devolves into "tell me about..." questions," wrote one fan.

"Holly Rowe is one of the best sideline reporters on any network in any sport," added another.

Another simply said: "Holly Rowe is the goat"

"As women's basketball has exploded in popularity over the past 10 years most of the success is linked to great players. But it also takes others to help champion the game and few have done it better than Holly Rowe."

"Holly Rowe doing women’s college basketball might be the best sideline reporting in sports. She knows these players and storylines so well."
