Caitlin Clark of Iowa Women's Basketball made history by breaking the NCAA women's basketball scoring record with a 33-point performance against Minnesota, bringing her career total to 3,650 points. This achievement came during a game where Iowa defeated Minnesota 108-60, with Clark also recording her 6th triple-double of the season. Additionally, Iowa set a school record with 22 3-pointers in the game. Payton Sandfort of Iowa Men's Basketball also set a record with the first triple-double in the program's history in a game against Penn State, finishing with 26 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and 3 blocks, contributing to Iowa's 90-81 victory. Both achievements highlight Iowa's unique position as the only Division I school in the last 25 years to have a 25-point triple-double by both a women's and men's player in the same season, with Clark scoring 21 points in the first 10:58 against Minnesota.
Clark is less than 20 points away from becoming the all-time scorer in NCAA basketball history. She is expected to be a top pick in the April 15 draft. https://t.co/aXSMCHijeb

Caitlin Clark broke the NCAA women's basketball scoring record, then became the all-time leading scorer among female college basketball players. Now it's time to overtake Pistol Pete for GOAT in college ball. https://t.co/p55stTHCej
From @TheAthletic: Before there was Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Plum, Maya Moore and others, there was Pearl Moore and her 4,061 collegiate points. Here's why the NCAA doesn't recognize her record. https://t.co/J6UDW1npPY
As Caitlin Clark closes in on Pete Maravich’s NCAA career scoring record of 3,667 points, needing just 18 points to surpass it, the first impulse might be to draw distinctions. But to cast these stars as oppositional forces would be to miss the point of their shared genius.… https://t.co/0PwBqBCh2K
Caitlin Clark can now set her sights on "Pistol Pete" Maravich, who scored 3,667 points during his three seasons at LSU from 1967-70. @petersblendorio https://t.co/Lgd1jw5h5r
Caitlin Clark broke @kuwbball’s Lynette Woodard’s scoring record and @IowaWBB’s HC Lisa Bluder made sure to give it the recognition it deserved 🙌 🎥: X: OwenSiebring https://t.co/PdnDR88SQk
Clark hung 33 points on Minnesota during a 108-60 blowout win to push her career points total to 3,650 - a single point more than what Woodard scored at Kansas. The women's basketball phenom now holds the all-time NCAA women's scoring record 👏 https://t.co/hFzn1GEJAq
Why doesn't the NCAA acknowledge Pearl Moore's 4,061 collegiate points? The Francis Marion hooper has a record that Caitlin Clark won't even surpass. @ByMarkPuleo on the history. https://t.co/axdrEAHaGi https://t.co/ITpLD0cts3

Even in defeat, Ben Johnson's #Gophers actually improved their NET ranking with last night's huge scoring game at Illinois. Moved up two spots today to No. 75 NET. Fell to 1-7 in Quad 1 games, though. One more Quad 1 opportunity left in reg. season at NW on March 9.
Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder called out the NCAA for not recognizing Lynette Woodard's "real" scoring record, which Caitlin Clark broke on Wednesday night with her 33-point outing. READ: https://t.co/X4UAQgMcpU https://t.co/GO5qIpoWDF
I saw ESPN compare Caitlin Clark to Pete Maravich, and that’s compelling for more than a few reasons: 1. she can burn it up, just like him 2. More importantly, women’s basketball is essentially entering that era (‘67-‘70). The women’s game is in its infancy. Huge growth to come.
Caitlin Clark scored 33 points for sixth-ranked Iowa in a 108-60 win at Minnesota on Wednesday to pass 3,650-plus points. https://t.co/4KCmWuDz5W
Gabbie Marshall listened to @Raina15 and @LisaBluder + did something differently before Wednesday's game. She scored 16 points to help fuel Iowa's barrage of 22 3-pointers. New 5 thoughts column from Minneapolis. https://t.co/Iq8leMZwOk

Two crazy notes about #Gophers high-scoring loss tonight at Illinois. They gave up the most regulation points in a game since 1988. They also scored the most points in regulation in a loss since 1968. Wow. https://t.co/hkihHVvBzB

Illinois with 1.60 points per possession in tonight's 105-97 win at home over Minnesota. Second-best game of offense by the Illini in the KenPom era. It's also the No. 1 game of offense in the KenPom era for the Gophers: 1.48. One entertaining evening.
More postgame reaction from Minneapolis, as Iowa set a school record with 22 3-pointers ... and Caitlin Clark was at her best. “I thought that we just played free tonight and had a lot of fun across the board.” https://t.co/JqEuYHNqxH

All the Minnesota Golden Gophers do is COVER SPREADS. Gophers (+12) lose 105-97 to Illinois, but cover as a double-digit ‘dog. Minnesota is now 24-4 ATS this season 💵👀🤯
Iowa coach Lisa Bluder after Caitlin Clark reaches 3,650 career points to surpass Lynette Woodard's 3,649: “Tonight is the night of the real record. For some reason, the NCAA doesn’t want to recognize the basketball that was played prior to 1982, and that’s wrong. We played…
FINAL: #illini 105, Minnesota 97 An NBA game broke out at State Farm Center. Illinois (21-7, 12-6 Big Ten) maintains one-game lead for second place in Big Ten. Shannon 29, Domask 22, Hawkins 20, Dainja 11 Garcia 29, Christie career-high 23 https://t.co/0nEE3INqh1
Consistent team defense has been #Badgers' Achilles' heel this season. UW hosts Illinois Saturday. The Illini just shot 45.5% from three (10 of 22) and 61.3% overall (38 of 62) in a 105-97 victory over Minnesota. Illini can't defend well, but they can score.
Caitlin Clark has another career record on her astounding resume: the most points by any major college women's player to ever take the court. https://t.co/NpCrfZK7Uh
#Gophers outscored 8-0 to fall behind by double figures. Tough to keep up that scoring pace for Johnson's squad down 91-79 late in second half.
Lisa Bluder opens up her press conference by saying that Lynette Woodard's point record was 'the real scoring record.' "Congrats to Caitlin for being the true points leader." Says that the NCAA isn't doing any of the players right by not recognizing the older generation.

Forget all the NCAA records, the greatest testament to Caitlin Clark's greatness is how many times I have willingly fired up fucking Peacock this season to watch her ball
The Iowa record for points in a quarter is 38, I think. Iowa rolled out to a 28-8 lead on 7-for-9 shooting from 3. Nice to see Gabbie Marshall connect with one of those to reach 1,000 career points.
Things you never expect to tweet but here we are… turn @peacock on and watch that Iowa women’s game. Caitlin Clark is clearly going for the scoring record tonight.
CAITLIN CLARK 15 POINTS ALREADY ON FOUR THREES She's going for history. (via @CBBonFOX) https://t.co/FxpcWKyKCO
The Caitlin Clark Show is off and running. She has scored all 12 of Iowa’s points so far.
That may be the most electric Caitlin Clark start ever. 3 deep 3s + an and-one in the first 2:55. Iowa 12, Minnesota 2 ... Caitlin has all 12.
And another three. This is insane. Clark has 12 points in less than 3 minutes.
Northwestern down two of their starting guards but pick up another Quad 1 win tonight at Maryland. #Cats are for real. Not just Boo Buie. Next big opportunity on the road for #Gophers is to end the reg. season in Evanston.
B1G hoops: Northwestern hits 28 of 31 FTs; Maryland hits 2 of 22 three-pointers. The result, short-handed Cats grind out a 68-61 victory to improve to 11-6 in the B1G. That is one game ahead of #Badgers.

Indiana shot 60% or better from field in each half, 40% or better from 3 in each half in its 74-70 win over #Badgers. Wasn’t impressed with #Wisconsin’s defense early in the season, but I certainly didn’t have defense in the office pool as the reason its season would go sideways.
Morning NET update: Iowa up one spot to #59 after last night's 9-point win vs. Penn State. A monster matchup looms Saturday at #52 Northwestern (Q1). KenPom has it 81-77 Cats, who are 8-0 in B1G play at home, but Hawkeyes are playing their best ball now.
