Caitlin Clark stood alone at the free-throw line on Sunday and made the foul shots that put her atop the all-time NCAA Division I scoring chart.

The flash and pizzazz of her game have made her the biggest name in all of college basketball. Yet it was two free throws after a technical foul that pushed Clark past the late Pete Maravich鈥檚 54-year-old record in聽.

Clark entered the game in Iowa City needing 18 points to pass Maravich鈥檚 total of 3,667, amassed in just 83 games over three seasons at LSU (1967-70). She finished with 35 to run her total to 3,685 in 130 games.

Maravich鈥檚 mark fell four days after Clark broke聽聽when she scored 33 points against Minnesota on Wednesday.

鈥淛ust to be in the same realm of all these players who have been so successful, whether it’s Pete or Kelsey Plum or Lynette Woodard 鈥� all these people have just given so much to the game,鈥� Clark said. 鈥淗opefully somebody comes after me and breaks my records and I can be there supporting them.鈥�

Best known for her long 3-pointers, Clark was called on to go to the foul line after Cotie McMahon was assessed a technical for giving her a little push during a dead ball with less than a second to go in the first half.

Clark had no immediate reaction after the second shot went through, as if it hadn’t sunk in yet. She said she knew the record had fallen only after it was announced.

It didn’t matter to her that she made history with two free throws rather than a half-court logo 3-pointer.

鈥淭hat’s like the hardest thing to do in basketball is to make free throws with nobody (around you) at the free-throw line,鈥� she said.

She had gotten off to a slow start Sunday. Her first shot was a 3-pointer that bounced off the rim. She missed a layup and from deep on the right wing before making a 3 from the left side for her first basket.

After starting 2 for 7, she made 3 of her next 4 shots 鈥� including three straight 3s, each deeper than the previous.

Woodard was among those at Carver-Hawkeye Arena to help Clark celebrate senior day. Also on hand were basketball great Maya Moore, who was Clark鈥檚 favorite player, and Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan.

鈥淚t’s a great time for women’s basketball,鈥� Woodard said in a television interview. 鈥淐aitlin is leading the way. As she was chipping away, I said records are made to be broken. Also, they鈥檙e made to be honored. Because of her, my records are being honored. She鈥檚 gone beyond that now, she鈥檚 gone beyond Pete … I passed her the baton to go ahead and burst through that ceiling, and I’m so happy for her.鈥�

Kiran Nanjappa, who was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and now lives in Denver, said he paid more than $200 for his ticket.

鈥淪he鈥檚 a truly once-in-a-lifetime player,” he said. “I鈥檝e been watching Iowa basketball for 40 years, and I鈥檝e never seen a player like her, men鈥檚 or women鈥檚. I鈥檒l just say this 鈥� I paid more to see her today than I paid to see Michael Jordan three times at the end of his career. And I never thought I鈥檇 say that.鈥�

Clark is all but assured of one or two more appearances at the arena in Iowa City.聽聽for the NCAA Tournament, meaning it would be at home for the first two rounds.

The fall of Maravich’s record is聽.

Maravich鈥檚 all-time scoring mark is one of the more remarkable in sports history. There was no shot clock or 3-point line in his era. The 3-point line was adopted in 1986.

Maravich averaged 44.2 points per game. He scored more than 60 in a game four times, topping out at 69 against Alabama on Feb. 7, 1970.

LSU coach Kim Mulkey, who grew up in Louisiana and played at Louisiana Tech, said after her聽聽on Sunday that comparing Maravich and Clark would be like comparing apples and oranges.

鈥淲hat Clark has done is unbelievable and her name will be right up there at the top,” Mulkey said. “But he played over here with no 3-point line, three years, and I don’t think we need to make too much of, ‘Well, she passed him because he鈥檚 a man.’ She’s who she is, and that’s awesome. Lord knows when I (coached) against her: 鈥楢re you kidding me? What a generational talent.’鈥�

Clark averages 28.3 points for her career. Her biggest output was 49 points against Michigan on Feb. 15, when she passed Kelsey Plum as the NCAA women鈥檚 Division I career scoring leader.

Clark has 55 games with at least 30 points, the most of any player in men鈥檚 or women鈥檚 college basketball over the last 25 years. She has six triple-doubles this season and 17 in her career.

鈥淲hat Caitlin鈥檚 done has been amazing. She鈥檚 fantastic player, great for the women鈥檚 game and basketball in general,鈥� Maravich鈥檚 eldest son, Jaeson, told The Associated Press last week.
