Clark wrote the history of the NCAA women's basketball team on the 16th.
Clark pushed his career score to 3,569 points after the game, setting a career high of 49 points in a single game, and breaking the school all-time record of 48 points held by Megan Gustafson, making this the fourth time in Clark's career that Clark has scored more than 45 points. After the game, Clark said, "You all know I'm going to break the record with logo3. I don't know if I can write a better script. I'm very grateful to have been able to do it in this way. I am so grateful to have so many people around me, they are the cornerstone of me. ”
Clark said he had a hunch during practice that tonight would be different: "Honestly, I felt good shooting in the warm-up. He also said that the performance tonight was what the team needed after the loss.
Rebecca Lobo, an analyst at ESPN and a former Olympic gold medalist, said Clark shares similar qualities to NBA superstar Stephen Curry, "The way she plays is something we've never seen in a female player." We've never seen anyone shoot so many goals from that far and be so accurate. She's like Curry, she's quite charismatic, and she's not the kind of tall giant. So all the kids can think of themselves as Clark. ”
Curry, who took the NBA by storm with his signature shooting skills, also praised Clark: "Caitlin (Clark) is special. The record speaks for itself, which is cool. In terms of the angle of scoring, in terms of the angle of shooting, she is just what he does. She can draw inspiration from anyone, and if she says she learned something from me, I wouldn't take it for granted. ”
