Clark drops 49 in record-setting game vs Michigan
Needing just eight points to surpass Kelsey Plum's NCAA women's scoring record, the senior guard broke the mark with style. She finished with 49 points on 16 of 31 shooting from the field (9-of-18 from the 3-point line) and a perfect 8-of-8 from the free-throw line. She also grabbed five rebounds and dished out 13 assists in 37 minutes of action.
Clark is now targeting Maravich's Division I scoring record as she is just 98 points away. The away game against Indiana will be one of her four chances to break the scoring legend's record.
After this game, Iowa will have three more scheduled matches this regular season. These are against Illinois (Feb. 25), Minnesota (Feb. 28) and No. 2 Ohio State.
Caitlin Clark faces Indiana's scoring menace
The Iowa-Indiana showdown features another interesting sidelight. It's the battle of two of the league's top scorers.
As Clark leads the NCAA women's tournament in points per game, Indiana's Mackenzie Holmes ranks second.
The fifth-year forward averages 20.6 points per game and she is also chasing records. Holmes, who ranks third in Hoosier program history in total points (2,413) needs just 26 points to overtake Steve Alford in second place in the all-time list. Furthermore, she is just 201 points to break Calbert Cheaney's all-time scoring record of 2,613.
Indiana is one of the top squads in the Big Ten tournament. It is just 1.5 games behind conference-leading Ohio State.
Big Ten dogfight
Ohio State, Iowa and Indiana are in the thick of the fight for the Big Ten Conference title. Only one game separates the Buckeyes (22-3, 13-1 in Big Ten) and the Hawkeyes (23-3, 12-2 in Big Ten) while the Hoosiers are half a game back of Iowa.
The clash is important for Iowa and Indiana as it could affect the positions of both teams in the upcoming NCAA Tournament knockout stages and the conference championship.
Clark knows how pivotal the match is for the squad's chances and so as Holmes.
