History was made. Enough said.
who is Caitlin clark
A white female who is very good at basketball who doesn’t get the same plaudits a black female would get.
Women’s college basketball. Few will notice or care because it simply isn’t that exciting of a game.
She should get an award just for being white
Frustrating game for this Buckeye.
You mean a white straight female.
NCAA basketball scoring record (men or woman)
Oh, and ill add:
White, straight, Christian... for the win.
I heard this on Fox & Friends. Pistol Pete set the record in 3 years, without a three point line, averaging 50 points a game. So there should be an asterisk.
Love Clark love game love her story and profile but damn I wish she would just stop whining about being fouled every time she shoots.
Love whats happening with Clark and Iowa women’s Basketball, but she has not broken the all time 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.
Should not even be considered together. She is indeed an outstanding athlete and worthy of praise but Pistol Pete was playing against males. We all know that to consider them on the same playing field is beyond reason.
She is a tremendous player and deserves all the accolades she is receiving.
Having said that...let’s remember that the “3 Point” shot did not exist during the Pete Maravich era. And...if you ever saw Maravich play...he had more 3’s than anyone else at the time.
Problem was...back then, they were 2’s...
Anybody can be a good 3-point shooter with practice.
....and to honor her achievement, all the announcers can talk about is other black players who were better.
Excuse me? She’s all over ESPN, social media and the internet
I’m tired if her coverage at this point
If Maravich had the 3-point in his day ut would take her another year to catch him
More like 44.5
As a New Yorker I only got him maybe 4 times on TV but he did play in the NIT
It was a blast watching him at LSU
35 pts, 9 assists today against very tough Ohio State
