Photos: Bouncing around Tourney Town

The NCAA Women’s Final Four drew more than 18,000 people to Rocket Mortgage Field House last weekend to witness spectacular college athletes like the Iowa Hawkeyes' Caitlin Clark compete and see the South Carolina Gamecocks and Aliyah Boston ultimately win the championship.

When the teams weren’t on the court, crowds attended Women’s Final Four Bounce in Public Square to dribble their way along the streets in a unique parade and Tourney Town festival jam at the Huntington Convention Center.

Bob Perksoski attended both free events, and caught all the action in this photo essay!
