Tonight, Caitlin Clark has a chance to make history. She is 8 points away from breaking the women’s college basketball scoring record. Kelsey Plum, who played at Washington, has a record of 3,527 total points. Iowa will play Michigan tonight at 8 p.m. with everyone in the basketball world watching.
Clark has been the talk of women’s college hoops for the past few years. She has been historically dominant throughout her career at Iowa. She averages 28 points, 7 Rebounds, and 8 Assists per game for her career at Iowa. This season, she leads the NCAA in points per game with 32.1 and assists with 8.3. Her 32.1 points per game rank 3rd all-time for a single season in women’s college basketball history.
Clark is also on track to break the record for total points in a season. Plum also holds that record with 1,109 points. Clark has 803 points through 25 games; Plum set the record while playing 37 games. If Iowa can make a deep tournament run, Clark should also be able to beat that record.
Once her career ends, Caitlin Clark will become one of the best college hoopers ever. She will undoubtedly be the 1st overall pick in the upcoming WNBA draft. She has revived women’s basketball in a big way, and everyone is excited about what she will do.
