Iowa guard Caitlin Clark became the NCAA Division I women’s basketball career leading scoring leader on Feb. 15 when she drilled a deep three-pointer in a win over Michigan. To honor her, the Hawkeyes placed a decal with her name and jersey number on the spot where she hit the record-breaking shot on the court at Carver-Hawkeye Arena and revealed the commemoration Sunday.
But after her team’s 101–85 win over visiting Illinois, Clark made a surprising admission about the inscription on the court.
“It seems a bit further back than where I actually shot it from, but that’s where they claim I shot it from,” Clark told reporters after recording a triple-double with 24 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. “But it’s super special. That’s something I’ll always remember.”
