University of Iowa Hawkeyes basketball star Caitlin Clark is now the leading scorer in NCAA Division 1 hoops. And it’s not just the women’s record. She now holds the record for women and men.

Yesterday against Ohio State, she passed “Pistol” Pete Maravich’s record of 3,667.

Caitlin now has 3,685 points, and she’s got more basketball to play. The Big 10 Tournament is this week, followed by the NCAA Tournament. Depending on how well the team does in both tournaments, she could add another 300 points to the record.

She has declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft.

“She’s going to change the game for women’s sports.”
