Caitlin Clark finally broke the record.
- Thread starter Princecal
- Start date
Meanwhile our Lady Cats are getting drubbed by LSU in first quarter 16-5 2:00 minutes to go and Lady Cats already have 9 turnovers…. Elzy needs FIRED….
Not to be a smart ass, or down play the girls achievements. however lets either take away a point for every 3 pointer she made. or go back and plot the shot pistol took and any outside the 3 point line add him a point. BIG DIFFERENCE. To me Pistol Pete will always be the points leader.
I dont understand the logic.
Pete played 3 seasons.
Clark played 4.
Pete played against men, Clark plays against women.
If it's the same why don't we have co ed teams and one league? Could it be because Clark wouldn't make the cut and it would be all males?

And girls coach 2 mies from camps has won 62 in a row.
I don’t understand wanting to intermingle stats between men and women’s sports.
A lot of the best male athletes in America choose basketball, but many of the top females choose other things. The total talent pool of high quality athletes for each gender in basketball creates a substantial gap between the best and the rest. Which is why things like Geno winning 50 championships in a row, while mightily impressive, just simply isn’t comparable to the men’s game.
The sports are separate for a reason, let their records and accomplishments stand on their own.

At first I read FRIED.. I thought that was a little extreme.
Clark is a helluva player. Maybe the best women’s player ever… who knows.
She did not “break Pistol Pete’s record.” They each have their own separate accomplishments achieved under different circumstances.

If I were in her shoes I might get fried after every game.
I never thought we would ever see that record broke. Not only is she a great scorer she’s also a great passer! Congratulations to that kid!
She is about to find out how much people care about women’s basketball. She has the record for most points scored in college by either a man or woman. If she was a man, she would have been in the Pro’s already. Wonder what her other job will be along with WNBA - shooting coach for a college?
And only played 83 games vs 129.
Total stats are meaningless when comparing cross generations. Averages per game matter. Totals only matter when you’re looking at all time team comparisons in the same sport etc
I agree nobody cares. But she won’t need a second job. Nike will sign her as the face of all women’s sports essentially and she will have a shoe deal and be in every Nike commercial as the required female. Like Mia Hamm or Serena Williams
I bet the media hates that she’s as Lilly white as Pete too. At least she’s a girl.
Oh so we can't do equality for a man eh? Unless it's a man pretending to be a chick.
Address why doing it in almost 50 more games against cupcake competition is comparative.
Congrats to Clark… but it’s definitely not as exciting as “a THREE from THE LOGO!!!”
The NCAA promotions dept. is doing a facepalm, too. It takes a lot of pizzazz out of their plans to use that moment non-stop during the Tournament and beyond.
(Oh… and nothing can ever really compare to what Pistol Pete accomplished.)
She’s the biggest name in college sports right now . It’s not shocking that they are saying she broke the record for college basketball . More clicks more discussions.
imagine her total if allowed to shoot 40 times a game.
This.
You won't hear any espn men's basketball analyst say this out loud but Bilas and company are rolling their eyes in secret.
Play against dudes and we can talk. It's not the same. The men and women are separated for a reason dude. It's just more woke garbage.
It’s different and they should stop combining the two.
But Clark is a badass.
She should be cheered for what she has accomplished.
It’s an awesome achievement. 🏀👍

Could literally not care any less than I do now about her or women’s basketball in general.
I think that will be the take of any logical person while ackowleding Clark in her own right. There isn’t a line that needs drawn in the sand here. A heck of an accomplishment by Clark nonetheless.
Former LSU coach Dale Brown noted that recordings of Maravich's games make clear he routinely shot from beyond 20 feet. He and retired Baton Rouge-area sports writer Sam King concluded that Maravich would have averaged about 54 points per game had a 3-point line — adopted by the NCAA in 1986 — existed when he played.
Nice achievement as a few others have said. If people didn't care, this thread would only have a few responses. Instead, it's likely to go multiple pages. I'm also enjoying the always weird, passively aggressive comments, whether it's proudly claiming you don't care (even though you're commenting about a subject you "don't care" about), bitching about the media, or whining about wokeness. It is an accomplishment and it's something none of us have the skill to do. Ain't nothing wrong with just saying "Good job!" without taking the thread in a bitter direction.
The record for points scored in NCAA sanctioned games is Clark.
The best average per game for a career belongs Marovich.
You cannot compare different eras, competition, or rules because there are too many variation between the eras.
Just celebrate both.

My daughter also wears #22 and is about to play for the county championship this evening.
And she’s much cuter than Caitlin Clark.

Exactly, if they are going to bring his name up they need to include no threes back then and didn't he only play 3 years cause freshman didn't play varsity?
Says the chairman( I'm guessing you identify that way) of the woke squad.
