Iowa's Caitlin Clark breaks NCAA women's hoops scoring record

Caitlin Clark had no specific plan for how she hoped to break the NCAA women's basketball scoring record Thursday. But after doing so while also setting the Iowa Hawkeyes' single-game scoring record, Clark had to grin.

"You all knew I was going to shoot a logo 3 for the record," said Clark, who now has 3,569 career points, 49 of them coming Thursday. And indeed, every aspect of the night seemed storybook perfect for the senior star.

(Snip)

She was far from done, though. Clark went 8-of-10 from the field -- 5-of-7 from 3-point range -- in the first quarter, scoring 23 points. It was the most points she has scored in any first quarter in her Iowa career, and the second most of any quarter. She had 25 in the fourth quarter of a loss to Michigan on Feb. 6, 2022.

Totally without merit clown. But then again you’re a Ronny’s boy...so I can see how you get confused.

Actually I have lived in Iowa my whole life. I’ve had dealings with Assistant Coach Jan Jensen, followed Bluder’s career since she was at Drake, been aware of Clark for over eight years and have seen her development through the program. Fame does affect people differently and while Clark has handled several things admirably, she has grown increasingly critical of game officiating and it shows on the court. I understand that you may not like criticism of Clark with your replies to several posts on this thread but her behavior may come to haunt her at a very inopportune time which could hurt her team. Let the coaches do the complaining to the refs.

Yeah....I’m sure you have clown. I’m sure she will take your advice to heart. Only since Drake eh? Not St. Ambrose? You should play catch up. You’re a nobody...who cares what you think. She has always displayed her dissatisfaction with poor officiating....grow a pair!

Such a sad, lonely, useless life you must lead when you use it to insult people with opinions that do not match with yours. You’re a true liberal through and through. Prayers for you.

Clark is an amazing player but I agree with your comment. I absolutely hate it when she whines to the officials. Makes her look like a spoiled brat and I don’t think she is one. Not a good look.

That was harsh. She is a remarkable athlete and a bit “plain.” Her record-breaking basket was one of the cleanest shots I have ever seen.

I think she is a very pretty young lady, even more, I think when she is on the court playing basketball, she is one of the most beautiful human beings I’ve ever seen.

I’m more impressed with the assists than the scoring.

Love whats happening with Clark and Iowa women’s Basketball, but she has not broken the all-time scoring record, just the major schools record division I. Yes she will pass Pistol Pete but not the top two record holders.

Hutcheson and Pierce set their scoring records while Lipscomb College was a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes (NAIA).

Hutcheson was the heart of the Bisons offense during his tenure on the team from 1986-1990. He led his Bison basketball team to a career record of 139–16. Scoring double figures every game of his four-year collegiate career, Hutcheson also holds the Lipscomb single season records for points scored (1,277), field goals attempted (826), field goals made (518) and free throws attempted (339).

He currently holds the Lipscomb University career records for free throws attempted (1,176), field goals attempted (2,621), most games played (155), double-figure games (155), 2nd highest point total (4,106) and rebound total (1,112).

Hutcheson broke the existing all-time scoring mark of 4,045 points set by Travis Grant of Kentucky State in the NAIA national tournament in a third round game against Pfeiffer (NC) on March 16, 1990.

A Lipscomb Academy graduate, Hutcheson was inducted into the Lipscomb University Athletic Hall of Fame and the NAIA Hall of Fame in 1997, had his jersey number 44 retired by the school – the first in Lipscomb history.

Pierce, a teammate of Hutcheson’s, watched him do interview after interview during his red shirt season as a freshman in 1989-90. In 1990, Pierce received the nod as the player who would eventually replace the legendary Philip Hutcheson.

Pierce wasted little time at chasing his predecessor, as he netted 22 points in 21 minutes and grabbed nine rebounds in his first game in a Bison uniform. . In Pierce’s time at Lipscomb (1990-1994), the Bisons compiled an overall record of 129-19, qualifying for the NAIA national tournament all four years.

On Feb. 24, 1994, the clock read 4:54 in the second half against Cumberland University. After being held to only eight points in the first half, Pierce exploded in the second half to become Lipscomb and College Basketball’s all-time scorer. After the game many of the old-timers who had seen nearly every game in Lipscomb’s McQuiddy Gym could be heard saying that never before had McQuiddy Gym erupted like the moment when Pierce laid the soft bankshot off the glass to surpass Hutcheson. Today, Hutcheson’s 4,106-career points stands as the second-highest scoring total in all of college basketball.

Scoring in double digits in every game that he played, Pierce’s 4,230 career point total still stands as the national mark for a college career.

I am a fan of the triple double scoring, rebounds and assists. And sometimes you see steals in double figures.
