As of tonight, Clark has 35 games for the year, the same number Plum had in her record-setting year. Crazy how in that many games, their aggregate point differential is 4.

A few other potential milestones she could accomplish over her last 4 games:
-1000 career rebounds. She's currently at 960, meaning she'd need to average 10 per game if Iowa makes it to the championship game again, or 13 per game if she makes it to the semis.
-4000 career points. She's currently at 3830, meaning she'd need to average 42.5 per game if Iowa makes it to the title game. This one seems the most out of reach but worth acknowledging.
The fact that she's closing in on 4000 points, 1000 assists and 1000 rebounds is unparalleled. I've said it on here before, but she also missed 7-8 games her first 2 years due to covid, so she definitely would've broken the 4000/1000/1000 barrier if not for canceled games. I remember 4 years ago thinking what Sabrina accomplished at Oregon was unbelievable and might never be done again, hitting 2500/1000/1000.
Alright back to the main topic at hand--records being broken. The last record I'll mention (which is actually quite realistic) is the all time women's career 3pt record. She's 10 three pointers away from setting the women's all time career 3pt record, set by Taylor Robertson last year. Taylor used her extra covid year but would have had the record in just 4 years if not for covid cancellations. If Clark plays in 2 more games, there's a good chance she'll break this record over the weekend. If she makes it back to the Final Four, she'll definitely break Robertson's record.

Clark with another 40-bomb. Found one more record for her to break. Chamique Holdsclaw currently has the NCAA career points record 479 and Clark after today is at 441. Holdsclaw played in 22 career NCAA games, Clark has played in 15.
