LeBron James, Indiana Fever react to Caitlin Clark’s NCAA scoring record
After becoming the Division I women’s college basketball all-time scoring leader last month, Caitlin Clark has added another record to her résumé: the top scorer (men’s or women’s) in NCAA Division I basketball history.
Clark entered Sunday’s matchup against the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes averaging 32.2 points per game and was 18 points away from passing the record set by LSU legend Pete Maravich (3,667 points, from 1967 to ’70).
During her final regular-season home game as a collegiate athlete, the Iowa Hawkeyes guard passed Maravich with a technical foul free throw with 0.3 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
In her previous game, Clark’s 33 points against the Minnesota Golden Gophers put her ahead of Lynette Woodard’s AIAW major college record of 3,649 career points.
Here’s how the sports world reacted to Clark becoming Division I college basketball’s all-time scoring leader.
