In a surprising revelation, Iowa's living legend, Caitlin Clark, puts the basketball world on hold with an announcement that could change the face of women's college basketball. Clark, who faces her last game against Minnesota in Minneapolis on a fateful Wednesday evening, carries a secret that will soon shake the world.
The guard claps, marking the end of an era and the beginning of an uncertainty. It's her performance on the court that has melted the hearts of thousands, the way her tricky shots and definitive 3-pointer zooms from the logo, a feat rarely allowed. But Clark's journey takes an unexpected turn.
This game changer, teetering on the brink of NCAA scoring glory, reveals a decision that echoes beyond the court. In her farewell post, Clark announces, "While this season is far from over and we have a lot more goals to achieve, it will be my last one at Iowa." She expresses heartfelt appreciation to her teammates, coaches, and the ardent fans who applauded her victories with the sixth-ranked Hawkeyes.
Setting multiple records and always working her magic, Clark casually scores 33 points in a 108-60 victory over Minnesota, surpassing Lynette Woodard's all-time leading women’s scorer in major college basketball. The NCAA single-season record shatters as she sweeps eight 3-pointers, amassing 156 in 2023-24. With a total of 3,650 career points, Clark exceeds Woodard's 3,649 points and breaks Kelsey Plum's NCAA scoring record (3,527 points). Her accolades seem fascinating as her departure turns out to be more imminent.
But before her record-shattering journey at Iowa comes to an end, she has one more milestone to attain. Watch as Clark aims for the overall NCAA scoring record, a feat held by Pete Maravich, just 17 points away. As she leaves her mark on Iowa and takes her talent to the WNBA Draft, will she able to surpass Maravich's record? Only time will tell.
