The Iowa Hawkeyes take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the NCAA women's basketball on Sunday and all eyes will be on Caitlin Clark. The point guard is on the cusp of breaking the D-1 women's season scoring record. She could very well do it against Nebraska on Super Bowl Sunday in Lincoln.
The record currently belongs to Kelsey Plum, who set it with the Washington Huskies back in 2017. The Iowa star also has her eyes set on Pete Maravich’s all-time D-1 scoring record, set decades ago. Will she be able to do it anytime soon?
Will Caitlin Clark break the scoring record today?
The Iowa star could very well break the women's D-1 scoring record today against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. She averages 38.0 points per game against her Sunday opponents and will need to better it by just one point to break Kelsey Plum’s record. If not on Sunday, the Iowa point guard will potentially break it against the Michigan Wolverines at home on Friday.
