How far is Caitlin Clark from Division I's scoring record? Exploring Iowa superstar's numbers and stats

Clark is 39 points away from breaking the coveted scoring record. There's no doubt at this point about whether she will break the record or not; the question now is rather when than if. At the moment, she is averaging 32.2 points per game, which would put her just within reach of breaking the record this Sunday against the Cornhuskers.

However, some don't want her to break the record on the road without the home fans being there to back her. One of those is Iowa head coach Lisa Blunder, who had this to say after the victory over Penn State:

"I would rather have her break it at home, I think our Carver-Hawkeye fans deserve that. But believe me, our No. 1 priority will be to win the game at Nebraska."
