The Post’s Howie Kussoy breaks down the matchups for Sunday’s women’s NCAA Tournament championship game between No. 1 seeds Iowa and South Carolina:

South Carolina’s Raven Johnson is an old-school point guard, who ranks third in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.1).

The sophomore has been even better in the NCAA Tournament, with 23 assists and three turnovers, while hitting 7 of 13 3-pointers.

Teammate Te-Hina Paopao ranks third in the nation in 3-point percentage (46.2). Iowa senior Gabbie Marshall is the heart of the Hawkeyes defense, routinely creating momentum.

Sydney Affolter is an efficient and aggressive offensive threat. Plus, there is Caitlin Clark.

You may be familiar with her work.

Edge: Iowa

There is no greater mismatch in this game.

The biggest difference from last year’s matchup is Iowa’s loss of 6-foot-3 Monika Czinano.

Without her, the Hawkeyes’ only true frontcourt player is oft-timid Hannah Stuelke, who scored 23 points against UConn but has looked the part of an underclassman against more physical opponents.

Enter 6-7 Kamilla Cardoso, a projected top-four pick in the WNBA draft.

The Gamecocks rank third in the nation in rebounding and should control the paint against Iowa, which allowed LSU a 23-6 edge on the offensive glass in the Elite Eight.

Edge: South Carolina

After losing two starters from last year’s run to the title game run — and watching starter Molly Davis go down in the regular-season finale — Iowa’s lack of depth may be its downfall.

It isn’t just Clark who is asked to do everything imaginable. In the national semifinals, the Hawkeyes used each starter for at least 37 minutes.

The Gamecocks counter with the deepest and most-talented bench in the nation.

In the most recent win over N.C. State, Ashlyn Watkins pulled down 20 rebounds.

In the Elite Eight, reserve Tessa Johnson led the team in scoring.

Edge: South Carolina

Iowa’s Lisa Bluder has won 533 games in 24 years at Iowa, posting just one losing season as a head coach since 1992.

The 62-year-old is a calming and positive presence, who doesn’t receive enough credit for guiding the nation’s highest-scoring team and giving Clark the freedom to change the sport.

But she also never reached a Final Four before Clark arrived and didn’t fare well in her first trip to the title game.

Dawn Staley, making her sixth appearance at the Final Four, will be on the sideline for her third national championship game. Staley’s two previous appearances ended with South Carolina cutting down the nets.

Edge: South Carolina

Clark is the superstar.

Kate Martin is Iowa’s leader.

The sixth-year captain does a little bit of everything for the Hawkeyes — as their most physical defender, a 3-point threat and emotional spark, whose 21 points against LSU sent Iowa back to the Final Four.

South Carolina’s freshman MiLaysia Fulwiley is the team’s biggest wild card.

The Most Outstanding Player of the SEC Tournament ranks second on the team in scoring (11.8) in under 19 minutes per game, but she has been held to single-digit scoring efforts in three straight games.

South Carolina has been the best team all season.

It has been the best team for three straight seasons.

It has the best defense and the deepest bench, high-end talent, great shooting and championship experience.

All of this was true last year, when Clark dropped 41 points in South Carolina’s lone loss of the past two seasons.

It will take a similarly jaw-dropping performance from Clark for Iowa to pull another upset and win the school’s first national championship.

Will she do it? Probably not.

But who’s to bet against her now?

Iowa 78, South Carolina 77
