Caitlin Clark’s ridiculous assist vs. Minnesota set multiple records for the Iowa superstar

It feels like Caitlin Clark is breaking a new record every week.

Earlier this month, the Iowa superstar guard surpassed the 3,000-points-scored mark for her career and Kelsey Plum’s all-time collegiate scoring record is within sight. She’s received praise from the likes of Lil Wayne and Mike Krzyzewski this season and has starred in commercials alongside Jimmy Butler.

On Saturday against Minnesota, Clark shattered more records with one neck-breaking assist.

In the third quarter of contest, Clark whipped in a pass from the top of the key to Hannah Stuelke, who finished the shot in traffic for Clark’s eighth assist of the game.

It was the 902nd dime of Clark’s career and it made her the Big Ten’s all-time assist leader. Clark on Saturday also became the first player in the history of Division I basketball – men’s or women’s – to tally at least 3,000 points, 900 assists and 800 rebounds in her career.

Clark’s collegiate career isn’t over yet, but it’s safe to call her one of the greatest of all time. The numbers don’t lie.

Here’s the record-breaking play:

Clark finished Saturday’s 94-71 win with 35 points, 10 assists and five rebounds, giving her the 49th double-double of her career.
