Does soon-to-be NCAA scoring leader Caitlin Clark need a title to be among game’s best?

Associated Press  

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark will soon be the NCAA’s all-time scoring leader in women’s basketball. “I do.” Clark, who’s averaging 32.1 points this season, has 3,520 career points and needs eight more to pass Plum’s record of 3,527 for Washington from 2013-17. “Even the ones who are just starting to see her will be talking about her greatness,” Staley said, “and that’s something some of the other greats didn’t have.” Pearl Moore, like Staley a member of the Naismith Hall of Fame, remembers too well how few people paid attention to the women’s game when she played at Francis Marion in the late 1970s and became the most prolific women’s scorer in history. Swoopes went on to say Clark dominates as “a 25-year-old playing against a 20-year-old.” Iowa responded with a fact-checking post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that detailed Clark’s career. “She exudes confidence and I think she’s really brought the women’s game to another level of what’s expected.” ___ AP Sports Writer Dan Gelston in Philadelphia contributed to this report.
