Iowa Hawkeyes' Caitlin Clark

Caitlin Clark has taken her game to astounding new heights this season. The Iowa Hawkeyes guard is averaging 32.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game while shooting 46.9% from the field. Clark's phenomenal individual play has powered second-ranked Iowa to a 25-4 record and a second place in the Big Ten conference.

Just days before her Hawkeyes final game of the regualr season, Clark stunned fans by announcing she will forego her remaining college eligibility and enter her name in the 2024 WNBA Draft.

"While this season is far from over and we have a lot more goals to achieve, it will be my last one at Iowa," Clark said. "I am excited to be entering the 2024 WNBA Draft."

When is the Iowa's next game?

The No. 6 Iowa Hawkeyes will face off against the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes in their regular season finale on Sunday.

The game will allow Caitlin Clark a chance at more history as she is nearing breaking one of basketball's most hallowed marks - Pete Maravich's all-time scoring record.

The LSU legend Maravich set a standard over 50 years ago that many thought would never be touched, finishing his college career with 3,667 points. Now, Clark sits just 18 points shy of surpassing that once-untouchable number and becoming the most prolific scorer in Division I basketball history - men's or women's.
