Players to watch: Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and more women’s college basketball stars
The women’s college basketball season is almost here, and it feels like there’s more excitement around the sport than ever before.
Caitlin Clark: NCAA women’s basketball star and record-breaker.
Over the years, Clark has solidified her place in NCAA history with her impressive skills as the best scorer and a logo-shooting supernova in college basketball. She is on pace to top records in both NCAA women’s basketball and NCAA history.
Clark, a senior All-American, is set to break the scoring record currently held by Kelsey Plum and Pete Maravich, and she’s already gaining momentum with 2,717 career points.
As she continues to average 31 points through the 2022-23 season, it is evident that breaking records is not far from reach.
If she decides to return for another season due to an extra year of eligibility, there’s no doubt that she would shatter all existing records.
How about her recent performance? Against Drake, Clark scored 35 points, setting an NCAA record for most 30-point games in Division I women’s basketball, further solidifying her status as a basketball legend.
She’s now only a few hundred points shy of breaking Plum’s and Maravich’s records, and with each game, she continues to make strides towards achieving this monumental feat.
Can Caitlin Clark break the scoring record? Absolutely. She’s already making history and elevating her game to levels rarely seen before. The possibilities for Clark seem endless, and she’s shaping up to go down in history as one of women’s basketball’s greatest players.
Her highest-scoring game came early in the 2023-24 season, where she hung 44 points on Virginia Tech, further cementing her reputation as a scoring powerhouse.
Through five games in the 2023-24 season, Clark is averaging 31 points, showcasing her remarkable consistency and scoring prowess.
One of the most impressive parts of Clark’s game is that she’s averaged more points each season, evolving into an unstoppable force in women’s college basketball.
