Lisa Bluder on Caitlin Clark (now 3,685 career points) passing the 54-year-old Division I men's mark of Pistol Pete Maravich (3,667):

“To me, you don't have to break a man's record to be recognized. I think breaking Lynette (Woodard)'s record was significant. To me, eh. I admire Pistol Pete but at the same time I don’t want that to be the bar for women’s athletics.”

The Caitlin Countdown:

Caitlin had 35 points in #6 Iowa's (26-4, 15-3) home win vs #2 Ohio State (25-4, 16-2) Sunday afternoon.

3,685: Current Career Points.

32.0 ppg: The number used in the calculations below. This is her scoring average in her first 30 games of the 2023-2024 season.


Scoring Milestones, with a projected 5 more games this season:

(1) On Sunday March 3, 2024, in a 93-83 win at home on Senior Day against #2 Ohio State, in her 130th game, Caitlin topped the Men's NCAA scoring record of 3,667 points (Pete Maravich, LSU; 1968-1970; 83 Games Played; 44.2 ppg).

(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 26-4 with a projected 5 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).

Hmm, disappointed by her scoring. 11 points down on the 4000-point march. A good start to the 1000-rebound goal though.
