Are you referring to Swoopes?

Swoopes did not say that records should be broken in the “same number of games”. The myth persists.

Career scoring average of 28.424, highest in history.
Give her those five or six games lost to COVID and she finishes her career around 4100 points and easily crosses over both 1000 rebounds and assists.

Two of the players on the top 10 list used their COVID extra season and finished with 3403 and 3060 points respectively. If CC had come back(I agree with her going now) she would have topped 5000 career points easily.

People started trying to make her the villain here during this run with the claims that she isn't good enough to win a title or the refs were fixing the UConn game ending to get her into the championship. Getting out now is probably the best thing for her college legacy. As they say, "you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain." The hate for her would have been insanely strong if she came back and pushed the scoring record up over 5000 points. Not to mention next year's team would not be set to make a deep tournament run which would have also hurt her legacy.

It has been a crazy ride and I can't wait to see what she does next. Hopefully an olympic team roster spot this summer. Too bad they got rid of the trapezoidal lane as her passing would have destroyed teams since the area under the hoop would be less congested.

Iowa star Caitlin Clark declares for WNBA draft, will skip final season of college eligibility

Iowa star Caitlin Clark says she will leave the Hawkeyes after this season and enter the WNBA draft. Clark made the announcement Thursday on social media.

Give her those five or six games lost to COVID and she finishes her career around 4100 points and easily crosses over both 1000 rebounds and assists.

She actually lost 8 games due to covid and without covid, she'd have over 4,100 points, over 1,200 assists and over 1,000 rebounds.

The math:

She lost 6 games her freshman year (covid shortened season) & 2 games her sophomore year (3 games were canceled because of covid but 1 game was added last second).

FR year averages: 26.6 pts, 8.9 FGM, 3.9 three pters, 7.1 assts, 5.9 rebs

SO year averages: 27.0 pts, 8.9 FGM, 2.8 three pters, 8 assts, 8 rebs

The first number below is her current stat. The number under that, in red, would be if she had played those 6 games lost her freshmen year and 2 games lost her sophomore year.

She made more 3-pointers (201) this season than 60% of the teams in Division I women’s basketball did this season.

The numbers are what they are, but I have trouble counting NAIA, Division II, Junior College, etc. against Clark's record. Nearly all articles I've seen regarding Pearl Moore neglect to mention that 177 of her points were scored at a junior college, which seem to be getting counted towards her 4061:

"She began her college career at Anderson Junior College, where she scored 177 points in eight games."

The women's scoring record belongs to Pearl Moore. Caitlin Clark is unlikely to reach it this year

Long before Iowa star Caitlin Clark hit her first long-range three, Pearl Moore set a scoring standard for women’s basketball that has stood for 45 years

www.usatoday.com

Not to disparage any one else's accomplishments, but in my opinion, the D1 record is Clark's. That's not me being an Iowa/Clark homer. I guess it's a little confusing, but I don't count those 177 points that Moore scored at a junior college towards the D1 record. She scored 3884 D1 points in my view. That's just how I see it.

I think Caitlin needs to contact Donald Trump. He'll call the NCAA and get them to add 49 points so she'll get to 4,000 points. Only 49 more! come on guys.....
