2024 Women's College Basketball odds: When will Caitlin Clark break Maravich's record?
Iowa's Caitlin Clark owns the NCAA women's college basketball career scoring record with 3,650 points.
And now, she's one good night away from owning the NCAA Division I all-time scoring record (3,667 points), long held by former LSU All-American "Pistol" Pete Maravich (1967–70).
Clark is averaging 32.2 points this season after the Hawkeyes knocked off the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Wednesday, with Clark finishing the night with 33 points.

Iowa has one regular-season game remaining, meaning Clark needs to score 18 points to break the record.
Clark also has some wiggle room, considering Iowa still has the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA Women's Tournament ahead.

Maravich's career point total is noteworthy because he did it in three seasons, playing 83 games total for LSU. Clark has already played 128 games for the Hawkeyes.
Maravich also achieved that record without the 3-point shot, whereas Clark has made 495 3-pointers, meaning 1,485 of her total points have come from 3-point range.
In addition, the shot clock was not instituted in college basketball until the 1985-86 season. Since its introduction, scoring has increased, as the ticking clock prevents teams from stalling for extended periods.
"It also matters that she's great and fun and a playmaker and unique. She shoots 3s that look long by NBA standards. She's a little bit of Steph [Curry] and a little of Trae Young," FS1's Colin Cowherd said of the Iowa star.
"Fans want to feel invested, and fans want to invest. And she produces double-digit returns. She never puts on a bad show, always ready to play — hurt, she plays. Falls? Gets up and plays. Doesn't have off nights. Never shies away from controversy, double teams. Aggressive, fun, good spirit. It's an excellent TV show.
"I like a story I can depend on. Caitlin Clark is that, and she's not finished."
