It's not something I'm paying super-close attention to. The difference between men's and women's hoops makes that pointless imo.
I think it's a fairly accurate statement - not based on her being the "best" in either men's or women's, but rather due to the fact that she's a 4th year player that fan's have gotten to know - whereas there's very few of those in the men's game that could have the same impact, as most will leave early if they are good enough for the NBA.
It's either Zach Edey or Riley Mulvey. Flip a coin.
Agree. I more or less posted without comment. I am of the opinion that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. While the sport is basketball, the games each play or played are vastly different.
Deep down Swoopes is likely extremely bitter that Caitlin Clark has made more NIL and endorsement $$ in her senior year of college, than Sheryl Swoopes made total, in her pro career and after.
Once in my life. The best part of you ran down your uncle's leg, whichever one was also your father.
He played 4 years but his freshman year was in the "freshman" league and the numbers did not count in his career totals. Freshmen were not allowed to play varsity in Maravich's time.

To be fair to Pete; it was a very long time before teams accepted the 3 pt shot as a major factor. Even when Steph and the Warriors started their run you still had lots of basketball purists claiming teams that relied on jumpshots could never win titles.
According to ESPN 8.0 assists/4.5 turnovers/career...I'm guessing that's rather high. PP's NBA stats say 5.4 assists/3.7 turnovers. 5.1 assists in college but no TO stats that I could find...
I very clearly identified what stood out yo.me about the talking point. I even went so far as to point out I don't know Caitlin's* situation. What I do care about is how covid will impact the record books and multiple years of eligibility being granted by the NCAA.
She'd have to play another year to have a shot at that record. I mean, it's possible if she goes on a tear to end the season and make a deep run but if she is scoring 50 points a game she's not getting 15 assists and quite honestly that probably means the rest of the team isn't doing squat out there and they will lose. Caitlin is good, but she can't get them to the championship game all by herself. Maybe the Final Four, depending on the matchups to get there, but at some point they will play a team where other people are going to have to step up.
Well as regards record books; i think it will ultimately be similar to when seasons started getting longer, bowl games started getting counted, etc.
We can always use games played as a qualifier. Aaron broke the Babe's HR record with 3,000 plus more at bats...
Apparently Clark has not taken or been impacted by a Covid season.
A lotta folks didn’t like Jesus Christ either. Doesn’t mean He was wrong though!
Exactly. Changes the numbers for sure.
At least spell her name correctly you twat.
She’ll pass it. She’s only 205 points away from tying Pete’s total. They have 7 regular season games left, and a minimum of one big ten tournament game, and one NCAA tournament game. That’s 9 games at a minimum, that would only be an average of 22.7 points a game. More than likely they’ll play quite a few more games than that though.
Yeah, but my dad said Jesus didn’t work hard enough on defense.
