He was actually the first white player ever offered a contract by the Globetrotters. It's crazy to think how their popularity easily exceeded the pro leagues back then and actually made that a difficult decision.
Caitlin ends her Iowa Career with 3,951 Points (NCAA & All-Time "Large School" Record). Megan Gustafson finished at 2,804

That is great; thank you for sharing.
Stephen A has been a HUGE fan of Caitlin for a while now.
Caitlin needs 99 pts to top the Men's NCAA record of 3,667 points (Pete Maravich, LSU; 1968-1970; 83 GP; 44.2 ppg).
She needs roughly 3 more games to do it (32 ppg x 3 games = 96), which would occur on Wed Feb 28 in Minneapolis vs Minnesota.

Rough night from 3. She needs consistent help from others.
She passed Kelsey Mitchell for most career 3 Point attempts in NCAA history tonight. Still 7 behind her for 2nd place in makes though, and 47 to tie number one. That record could still be really close but she'll need at least one more game with a bunch of makes and can't afford any more 3-16s like tonight.
36 overall FGA behind Kesley Plum for 3rd all time there. Don't think she'll catch the top 2 that played five seasons each, but I suppose with another deep run and 25 shots a game it isn't impossible, at least 2nd place is in reach.
Just outside the top 10 in NCAA Free Throw makes now but should get there in the next couple games
Have to wait and see if she can catch 3rd and 4th in assists. 61 and 64 is still quite a few games away. She is seventh all time in turnovers after tonight as well, probably finish 5th by the end of the year.

The Caitlin Countdown:
Caitlin had 24 points in #4 Iowa's (23-4, 12-3) 86-69 loss at Indiana (22-4, 13-3) tonight.
3,593: Current Career Points.
32.0 ppg: The number used in the calculations below. This is her scoring average in her first 26 games of the 2023-2024 season.
Important Dates (based on that 32 ppg scoring average):
Wed Feb 28 at Minnesota:
* Caitlin is projected to break Lynette Woodard's All Time Women's Scoring Record of 3,649 points.
* Caitlin is projected to top Pete Maravich's men's scoring record of 3,667 points.
Sun. March 3 vs Ohio State (Senior Day): the final regular season game. Caitlin is expected to participate in Senior Day.
Milestones, with a projected 8 more games this season:
(1) 57 pts needed to break the AIAW record of 3,649 (Lynette Woodard, Kansas University; the AIAW was pre-NCAA; she played from 1978-1981; 139 GP; 26.3 ppg)
-----> Looks like she needs roughly 2 more games to do it (32 ppg x 2 games = 64), which would occur on Wed Feb 28 in Minneapolis vs Minnesota.
(2) 75 pts needed to top the Men's NCAA record of 3,667 (Pete Maravich, LSU; 1968-1970; 83 GP; 44.2 ppg).
-----> Looks like she needs roughly 2 more games to do it (32 ppg x 2 games = 64), which would occur on Wed Feb 28 in Minneapolis vs Minnesota.
(3) On Thurs. Feb 15, 2024, in 106-89 home win over Michigan, in just her 126th game, Caitlin broke the NCAA career scoring record. The previous record was 3,527 points (Kelsey Plum, University of Washington; 2014-2017; 139 Games Played; 25.4 ppg).
(4) On Jan 31, 2024, in a 110-74 win at Northwestern, in just her 122nd game, Caitlin set the Big Ten Career Scoring Record. The previous record was 3,402 points (Kelsey Mitchell, Ohio State; 2015-2018; 139 Games Played; 24.5 ppg).
(5) On Nov 12, 2023, in a 94-53 win at UNI, in just her 103rd game, Caitlin became Iowa's All Time Leading Scorer. The previous record was 2,804 points (Megan Gustafson; 2015-2019; 135 Games Played; 20.8 ppg).
Iowa is now 23-4 with a projected 8 more games to go this season. NOTE: during the 2022-2023 season (38 games) we played 29 reg season games, 3 B1G tourney games, and 6 NCAA tourney games to get to our final 31-7 record. This season we should expect around 35 games (30 reg season games plus HOPEFULLY AT LEAST 2 B1G tourney games and AT LEAST 3 NCAA tourney games).
Caitlin's 4 year Career Points Projection:
2,717 pts to start the 2023-2024 season (100 Games)
1,120 projected pts for 2023-2024 (35 games x 32 ppg ave. this season)

In a rarity, none of Caitlin Clark's points came from near the rim vs. Illinois.
She had 24 points, 15 on 3s, 7 on free throws, 2 on a turn-around J.
Iowa was 17-for-37 from 3 as a team.
Clark:
“They just collapsed on every single drive tonight. It was kind of hard for me to get my feet in the paint and get good looks at the rim. They didn’t really adjust to that. … We made 17 3s, so it was kind of like they were going to live with that and make us prove ourselves from the outside. And I thought that's what exactly what we did.”

Since everyone is talking about it.... 51 pts is needed for Caitlin to top the Men's NCAA record of 3,667 points (Pete Maravich, LSU; 1968-1970; 83 GP; 44.2 ppg).
We should see Caitlin passing Pete's mark on Sunday March 3 vs Ohio State (Senior Day).
We should see Caitlin passing Pete's mark on Sunday March 3 vs Ohio State (Senior Day).
Here's to Clark topping 4000 points at the end of this season, which means she will have played 11 more games, averaging 35 points a game. A realistic goal I say
Imagine IF she were a ball hog and took 40 shots/night.
Caitlin needed 33 points tonight to break the AIAW/Big School record of 3,649 points (Lynette Woodard, Kansas University; the AIAW was pre-NCAA; Lynette played from 1978-1981; 139 Games Played; 26.3 ppg).
In just 129 games played (10 fewer than Lynette) and at the 4:27 mark of the 4th quarter, Caitlin scored point #33 on a long 3 pointer.
Incredible.
Here's video of Caitlin setting the major women's basketball scoring mark:

(1) 18 pts needed to top the Men's NCAA scoring record of 3,667 (Pete Maravich, LSU; 1968-1970; 83 GP; 44.2 ppg).
-----> Looks like she needs roughly 1 more game to do it (32 ppg x 1 game = 32), which would occur on Sun March 3rd in Iowa City vs Ohio State (Senior Day).
(2) On Wed Feb 28, 2024, in a 108-60 win at Minnesota, in just her 129th game, Caitlin broke the AIAW/"Big School" career scoring record. The previous record was 3,649 points (Lynette Woodard, Kansas University; the AIAW was pre-NCAA; she played from 1978-1981; 139 Games Played; 26.3 ppg).
(3) On Thurs. Feb 15, 2024, in 106-89 home win over Michigan, in just her 126th game, Caitlin broke the NCAA career scoring record. The previous record was 3,527 points (Kelsey Plum, University of Washington; 2014-2017; 139 Games Played; 25.4 ppg).
(4) On Jan 31, 2024, in a 110-74 win at Northwestern, in just her 122nd game, Caitlin set the Big Ten Career Scoring Record. The previous record was 3,402 points (Kelsey Mitchell, Ohio State; 2015-2018; 139 Games Played; 24.5 ppg).
(5) On Nov 12, 2023, in a 94-53 win at UNI, in just her 103rd game, Caitlin became Iowa's All Time Leading Scorer. The previous record was 2,804 points (Megan Gustafson; 2015-2019; 135 Games Played; 20.8 ppg).
Iowa is now 25-4 with a projected 6 more games to go this season. NOTE: during the 2022-2023 season (38 games) we played 29 reg season games, 3 B1G tourney games, and 6 NCAA tourney games to get to our final 31-7 record. This season we should expect around 35 games (30 reg season games plus HOPEFULLY AT LEAST 2 B1G tourney games and AT LEAST 3 NCAA tourney games).
Caitlin's 4 year Career Points Projection:
2,717 pts to start the 2023-2024 season (100 Games)
1,120 projected pts for 2023-2024 (35 games x 32 ppg ave. this season)
..........................................
3,837 Projected Points by end of 2023-2024 season (new NCAA & ALL TIME "Big School" Scoring Record)
===================
For GOAT Reference:
2,804 Career Points, Megan Gustafson (#26 in NCAA History)
...........20.8 ppg, 2015-2019, 135 GP
3,649 Career Points, Lynette Woodard (has the AIAW career scoring record; the AIAW was pre-NCAA; the NCAA took over the administration of women's basketball starting with the 1981-82 season; the NCAA, unfortunately, has treated the AIAW, the first era of organized collegiate women's basketball, as if it never happened; in 4 years and 139 games played at Kansas, from 1978-1981, Lynette was a 4 time All-American and averaged 26.3 points per game; she probably should be considered the current #2 all time D1 and D1 equivalent scorer).

The scoring record in the books, I’ve been watching her move up the all-time assists ladder.
A few weeks ago I didn’t think she could do it but at 1049 she now needs 43 more assists to pass Sabrina Ionescu (1091) who sits at 4th place on the career assist list. If CC does so (and she has been on a tear lately) she will also pass Tine Freil (1088) in 5th place.
