Caitlin Clark breaks ANOTHER record as the Iowa sensation surpasses Diana Taurasi for most women’s career three-pointers at March Madness in championship rematch vs. LSU
Caitlin Clark notched her latest record in Iowa’s Elite 8 matchup vs. LSU, as the Hawkeyes star passed Diana Taurasi for the most three-pointers made in the women’s NCAA tournament.
Clark, who entered the game tied with the former UConn star on 61 career three-pointers in March Madness, hit a trio of three-pointers in the first half while totaling 19 points.
She had made seven three-pointers with more than four minutes remaining in the third quarter on Monday.
Earlier this season, she passed Pete Maravich to become the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer.
She is also the first D1 player in history with at least 3,800 points, 1,000 assists and 950 rebounds.
Caitlin Clark now owns the all-time record for three-pointers in women’s March Madness
The record was previously held by former UConn great Diana Taurasi, who had 61 threes
Iowa was hot from deep as a team to start vs. LSU , shooting 43.8 percent (7-16) against the Tigers in the first half.
However, the defending champion Tigers also had a prolific first half, as Angel Reese scored 13 points and Fla’Jae Johnson added eight.
The teams were tied 45-45 at half.
During last year’s national championship, which LSU won, Reese was seen taunting Clark by pointing at her ring finger and doing John Cena ‘s famous ‘You Can’t See Me!’ hand gesture.
LSU’s Angel Reese insisted there was nothing ‘personal’ between her and Clark
However, the LSU center has since said there is no bad blood between the pair.
‘I don’t think people realize it’s not personal,’ Reese said ahead of the Elite Eight. ‘Once we get out between those lines, if I see you walking down the street, it’s like, “Hey, girl, what’s up? Let’s hang out.”‘
‘I think people just take it like we hate each other,’ Reese added. ‘Me and Caitlin Clark don’t hate each other. I want everybody to understand that. It’s just a super-competitive game.’
‘Once I get between those lines, there’s no friends,’ Reese continued. ‘I’m going to talk trash to you. I’m going to do whatever it takes to get in your head the whole entire game, but after the game, we can kick it. I don’t think people really realize that.’
