Iowa star Caitlin Clark has already made college basketball history, but her journey is far from over. The senior guard still has much of the 2023-24 season remaining, and she is well on her way to breaking more records.
Last season, Clark
put together historic statistics during the Women's NCAA Tournament, including the first-ever 40-point triple-double. The 2023 Naismith Player of the Year kept that momentum going into this season, breaking Iowa's all-time scoring record on Nov. 12 against Northern Iowa, which was her 103rd game with the Hawkeyes.
Clark is currently fourth on the all-time women's college basketball scoring list with 3,389 career points. In her latest outing against Nebraska on Jan. 28, Clark put together a double-double of 38 points and 10 rebounds. That was her 49th career game with at least 30 points, the most in college basketball over the last 25 seasons.
Another mind-blowing stat: Clark has scored 20+ points in 106 of her 121 games with the Hawkeyes.
Earlier this month, Clark had her 10th career 40-point performance while hitting a
buzzer-beating game-winner from the logo in Iowa's 76-73 win against Michigan State. That was one of two triple-doubles she had in the same week.
On Dec. 8, Clark became just the 15th woman to
reach 3,000 career points. She achieved the milestone by registering 35 points against Iowa State, marking her 41st 30-point game -- the most in NCAA basketball over the last 25 years. But her offense goes beyond scoring. Clark became the Big Ten's all-time assist leader after dishing out 10 dimes against Minnesota on Dec. 30. She is now the only Division I player to have eclipsed 3,000 points, 900 assists and 800 rebounds.
Clark is currently projected to break the Division I women's scoring record on Feb. 15 against Michigan.
Next Iowa game: Wednesday, Jan. 31 at Northwestern
