Good morning, Sports fans! Davey Mac here and I’ve got a fresh Sports Report for ya on a Thursday! We’ve got the basketball as the Knicks are in action tonight against a legend! We’re looking at hockey as the Rangers continue to be on fire! We’re checking out Spring Training baseball and have an interesting NFL story! But first!
My goodness, Iowa’s Caitlin Clark is something else. In a year where she’s been breaking record after record…add yet another one (actually two) to the list.
IOWA CITY, IOWA- FEBRUARY 15: Guard Caitlin Clark #22 of the Iowa Hawkeyes shoots against forward Taylor Woodson #21 of the Michigan Wolverines in the second half at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on February 15, 2024 in Iowa City, Iowa.
In Iowa’s 108 to 60 win over Minnesota last night, Clark scored 33 points and passed Kansas Jayhawks legend Lynette Woodard for the major-college women’s basketball mark. Amazing.
IOWA CITY, IOWA- JANUARY 2: Guard Caitlin Clark #22 of the Iowa Hawkeyes celebrates after scoring the game winning shot in the closing seconds of the second half against the Michigan State Spartans at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on January 2, 2024 in Iowa City, Iowa.
Clark ended up breaking another record as well…by hitting multiple three-point shots…Clark now holds NCAA women’s single-season 3-point record with 156 three’s made for this season…insane.
DALLAS, TEXAS – MARCH 31: Caitlin Clark #22 of the Iowa Hawkeyes reacts after a three point basket during the fourth quarter against the South Carolina Gamecocks during the 2023 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Final Four semifinal game at American Airlines Center on March 31, 2023 in Dallas, Texas.
Next up is the men’s record…as Clark looks to go past the NCAA overall scoring record (men’s or women’s) of 3,667 points set by the great “Pistol” Pete Maravich of LSU (Clark is at 3,650 career points). Congrats to Caitlin Clark…arguably the greatest women’s college basketball player of all time. I’m Davey Mac…now on to the rest of the Sports Report!
