Caitlin Clark sets new scoring record for major college women's basketball, amid 17th triple-double

Caitlin Clark's 3,650 points passes Lynette Woodard's record, which she set as an AIAW player in the early 1980s. That record is not recognized by the NCAA. But Caitlin is now the leading scorer among all female players at the major college level.

Kudos to our reporter for a great job. And of course kudos to the Iowa women for a flawless performance. The bench plus Molly widened the margin by about 8 points at the end of the game. Keep shooting. Beat OSU twice!

[@steveker5084]

Everybody stepped up their game for second game in row. Keep going!

Wow, Taylor scored 15 in 12 minutes of play. Iowa will need her contribution in March.

Nice Job Caitlin & Iowa Hawkeyes! Keep this up, the tournament is around the corner!

I thought the remarks were very gracious.

[@charlessmith4242]

* Not taking away CC's accomplishments, they are unbelievable, but Pistol Pete's record was obtained in only 83 games.

[@dougfuller904]

If Caitlin took as many shots as Pistol Pete took a game she would have set the record in fewer games than Pistol Pete, without the 3 point line.

[@dwightseymour6720]

There was no 3pt line in pistols time

[@johnraymond9170]

If it’s easier for her because Pete didn’t have a 3 point line to contribute to his total, then why hasn’t any man or woman broke his record in the last 60 years?

[@IowaRocker81]

To add on to that, why has no one broken it in five with the COVID year?

[@elmarko9051]

Pete had the advantages of nepotism, segregation, and W/L being irrelevant.

[@reverbva]

Nice commentary! 👍

[@wayneellis1565]

Fun to watch this team! Well disciplined!!

[@rocroc]

Excellent report. Bring on the welcome wagon we'll be there to shut here down Sunday - 19 points at most.

Why would she enter the draft? Her WNBA salary would only be spare change compared to the endorsement money she will earn wherever she plays.

Did they have 3point lines back then

[@sunway1374]

She is breaking records we didn't know existed. And she is breaking records that only become worthy of mentioning because of the levels she surpassed them.

[@ccswede]

How long can the NCAA survive with all the controversy fueled by the judicial verdict in favor of Tennessee.

[@gregjames9875]

Maravich set the record in 83 games. He didn't have a 3 point line.

[@Gozita5]

He also shot 40+ times per game, and no NCAA male athlete has broken his record either. if she breaks it within 4 years while shooting only 20 times a game, it's gonna be unprecedented due to her unbelievable efficiency in scoring.

[@harrykern616]

Hmmm! Even if we take away her freshman season and count all her 3's as 2. She would have passed him already if she was taking 38 shots a game. But she's not playing for daddy. Her percentage was better, so stop being a jealous hater that a woman passed a man.

[@HannahDisponett]

​@@harrykern616 I agree

[@Joe-ny2up]

​@@harrykern616Well said, and actually she would have crushed his record long ago. Just do the math. I don't know why people mention how many games he played when shot attempts are all that matter.

Please stop with the Pistol Pete comparisons...Pistol could do more with a basketball than any player who has ever lived...He played against men...Good grief..

[@Roger-zx4ji]

Pistol Pete’s as a college basketball scorer will never be eclipsed. It is truly apples to oranges.

[@user-bp7vi6de2l]

Not when pete took 44 shots a game. That's like 5 years worth.

[@Joe-ny2up]

Pete was a ball hog (by definition, clearly) and a sloppy turnover machine. He took 15 more shots per game in college than Larry Bird at Indiana State!! That's crazy. He lost 35 games in 3 seasons. His winning percentage was factually weak. Caitlin has made an NCAA final, single-handedly beating a supposedly unbeatable SC team (a team no one has beat since) to get there. I mean Pete was fun, but he also wore belted shorts 55 years ago in a barely integrated SEC conference shooting 38.1 times per game because his Dad was the coach. His nickname on defense was "The Ghost"

[@marksauce2383]

3-03-24. 18 pts will do it...😮

My question for kaitlin is does she worry that her teammates can lose motivation because she's so dominate?

[@DvonCarr]

Lynette Woodward SADLY didn't even get MENTIONED for her accomplishments as Catlin and Pete, not EVEN during Black History Month. Somewhere, there should have been a movie or made for TV program about her.

[@michaeldwight3212]

The Peacock network mentioned her and so did Lisa Bluder in her post game remarks. Lisa acknowledged Lynette in her opening comments.

[@johnsailor6260]

Peacock had her picture up and her accomplishments. Respect to her and watch the incredible CC take over
