With Caitlin Clark breathing down her neck, the situation has become more of a burden for Kelsey Plum than a turning point. The senior from Iowa, moreover, confidently states that she has experienced no anxiety at all. As Clark closes in, the NCAA could witness a best record that has not been broken since 2017.

Kelsey Plum, a former player for the Washington Huskies, currently holds the record with 3,527 points. However, she is just 39 points away from being surpassed by Caitlin Clark.

Caitlin Clark may steal some eyes from Super Bowl mania

Clark’s fans, along with the rest of the Iowa Hawkeyes team, are eagerly anticipating their upcoming game against Nebraska, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday. Scoring a remarkable 27 points in her recent game against Penn State, Clark came incredibly close to matching her season average, falling short by just five points.

With only 39 points left to break Kelsey Plum’s all-time NCAA scoring record of 3,527 points, established in 2017, fans eagerly await her performance. However, some speculate that she may have a less impressive game due to the Super Bowl being on the horizon. While others feel Clark could lure some eyes away from the biggest NFL game of the season.
