On Sunday, Iowa star Caitlin Clark made history by becoming the all-time NCAA Division I scoring leader, surpassing the late Pete Maravich's 54-year-old record. In a game against No. 2 Ohio State, Clark made two free throws after a technical foul was called, putting her career total at 3,668 points. The record-breaking moment came in an unexpected fashion, as Clark, known for her long 3-pointers, made history at the free-throw line. Despite a slow start in the game, Clark finished with 35 points, bringing her total to 3,685 points in 130 games.

The fall of Maravich's record has sparked conversations about the different eras of basketball, with LSU coach Kim Mulkey emphasizing the differences in the game during Maravich's time compared to now.
