Clark undoubtedly surpassed the previous 54-year-old record held by Pete Maravich.

What crap, it's like comparing tangerines to oranges, they're about the same but oranges are bigger. Same in basketball, men use a bigger ball, it is an inch larger.

I got cut from my high school team and played CYO ball.
One night at the Y was a 2 time NCAAW Champion and 2 time PAC-10 player of the year.
I couldn’t believe how easily I schooled her in every facet.
I was 5’10” 150, she 6’3” I would guess 200.
In a sport where physical contact occurs, women are children.

Someone said the other day that the three-point rule was not in effect yet when Maravich set his record. Is that correct? So Caitlin would have needed fewer baskets to score the same number of points.

This comparison is absurd, and nothing more than feminist propaganda. No different than if there were to be a women’s professional football league and bragging that some female receiver had surpassed even the NFL all-time record for receiving yardage. Yet if the same woman were allowed to play IN the NFL, not only would she set no records, but she’d be fortunate just to get through her first game alive.

This is a great and legitimate accomplishment WITHIN WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL, and nothing more.

Poor Caitlin doesn't fit that "narrative". Wrong skin color altogether.
If she were chocolate, her name would be plastered everywhere in the media.

Men that are prolific scorers won’t stay 4 years in college ball.

And, Maravich only played three years at LSU.

Clark, however, is the greatest women's college player ever and her range from three is only matched by Steph Curry.

OK just so you have some perspective. The smart media say she broke the MAJOR COLLEGE NCAA DIVISION I record, male and female. There is a reason they say it that way.

Here is why they say it: because two other players from coincidentally the same school have over 4000 points each.

Here’s part of their story in my post from a thread last week

Love whats happening with Clark and Iowa women’s Basketball, but she is not about to break 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.

When I look at Caitlin Clark I see God Himself manifested in the form of a lady basketball player. I’m 63 and I’m not certain I will see that overall level of talent in a basketball player again in my lifetime, man or woman.

[Svartalfiar]

Her team, No. 6 Iowa, won against No. 2 Ohio State with a score of 93-83, all thanks to her two free throws on a technical penalty.

...They only won by ten points because she scored two free throws? Who writes this crap?

[TheElectionWasStolen]

If it weren’t for the elite players, basketball would be un-watchable.
