Clark, who is currently averaging 32.1 points per game, will get the opportunity to break the record in front of her home fans when the Hawkeyes host Michigan on Thursday night.
Clark came close to setting a new record in Iowa’s final game against Nebraska on Sunday. She had 31 points after three quarters but went scoreless in the fourth quarter, missing all six of her shots. The Hawkeyes, meanwhile, gave up a 14-point fourth-quarter lead, as the Cornhuskers rallied to win 82-79.
The record, presently held by former Washington standout Kelsey Plum, is almost certainly going to fall Thursday. Clark’s lowest point total this season is 21, and she has never scored less than eight points in a game during her college career.
Clark has averaged nearly 35 points in four previous games versus Michigan.
