Iowa vs. Michigan game featuring $818k NIL-valued Caitlin Clark potentially breaking NCAA women’s all-time scoring record will stream on Peacock

Caitlin Clark is on the brink of making history. The college basketball star is eight points away from breaking the NCAA women's scoring record held by former Washington Huskie Kelsey Plum (3,527).

The Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball team has five more games left before the Big Ten tournament, and a change at the top of the leaderboard looks imminent.

Clark aims to achieve this incredible milestone when the No. 4 Iowa Hawkeyes (22-3) face the Michigan Wolverines (16-9) on Thursday. The game will tip off at 8:00 p.m. ET and will be aired live on the streaming service, Peacock.

Top 5 NCAA Division I women's basketball career scoring leaders as of Feb. 14, 2024

1. Kelsey Plum (Washington) - 3,527 Points
2. Caitlin Clark (Iowa) - 3,520 Points
3. Kelsey Mitchell (Ohio State) - 3,402 Points
4. Jackie Stiles (Missouri State) - 3,393 Points
5. Brittney Griner (Baylor) - 3,283 Points

Despite her impressive stat line of 31 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds and four steals in a recent game against Nebraska, Clark fell short of securing the record as she remained scoreless in the fourth quarter. This ultimately led to an upset win by the Huskers, with a final score of 82-79.

The upcoming clash with Michigan presents a real opportunity for Caitlin Clark to etch her name in the record books. However, Clark, who has an NIL value of $818,000 per On3, is more interested in the team winning.
