re: Caitlin Clark is just 75 points away from breaking Pistol Pete's D1 scoring record

Wtf? Not even the same sport

Some men you just can't reach.

She won't break anything.

This is her FOURTH year as a college player.
Her freshman year point total - 780 counts in her
total. Maravich's did not.

Pete accomplished his record in THREE years.
Add the fact that he scored 751 in his
freshman year, and he'd have over 4400 points
if they allowed that.

so two games

Despite what some would want us to believe, men and women are different and they DO NOT compete in the same version of the sport. When Clark has more total points than Pistol that does not give her "the most points in basketball", no more than Pat Summit's win does not make her "the winningest coach in basketball:.

In both cases, they hold THE WOMEN"S BASKETBALL RECORD!!!!!

Pistol Pete did it before the 3-point line and when there was no shot clock

If you count Pete’s freshman scores she is still 815 points shy.

As others have said, it is not the same record. There are significant differences in men and women’s college basketball, including the big one that women use a smaller ball but same size hoop. That alone makes the game different and records cannot be compared.

Clark is a great player, but in a different sport. It’s also why comparing D1 to D3 is different too. Competition levels are significantly different.

Just celebrate Clark without falsely connecting her to another sport.

Caitlan Clark would not see the court if she played MBB for a major program.

Nobody will ever be considered his equal because of these two facts.

Also in 3 years not 5.
