Damian Lillard Calls Out Caitlin Clark’s Iowa’s Unfair Advantage Over West.
There is no doubt that Caitlin Clark is one of the most sought-after athletes in women’s basketball. She has been etching history and breaking records on and off the court.
Clark has also got the respect of NBA veterans and active players of today. But tonight’s Iowa State win over West Virginia was something Damian Lillard didn’t find too impressive.

He cut no corners as he took to X to share his displeasure. “I feel like West Virginia women’s team getting did bad by these refs.”
I feel like West Virginia women’s team getting did bad by these refs.
Lillard calling out the officiating isn’t too much of a surprise. In the Hawkeyes’ 64-54 win over the Mountaineers, the latter was called for 27 personal fouls while the other had just 11. Iowa shot 25-of-30 free throws while Virginia was limited to just 3-of-5. And Clark was only too happy to knock down all the free throws she got.

Caitlin’s 11 of 32 points were the courtesy of free throws. Whether the whole thing was a one-sided officiating or not is up for debate, but not only did Iowa State move up to the Sweet 16, Caitlin Clark broke the single-season record for scoring.
She surpassed Kelsey Plum (1,109) to notch 1,113 for the season. Following the successful run, the Hawkeyes will be facing off against the Colorado Buffaloes in Albany, New York as they advance to sweet sixteen.
Caitlin Clark inches closer to yet another record
Throughout her career, Clark has been a fountain of inspiration around the world.
The reach that the 6’0 guard created is mesmerising. So much so that Billie Jean King and basketball analysts have dubbed the whole situation ‘Clarkonomics’. And all of it starts at court, as her stats prove beyond a doubt.
From breaking records along the likes of AIAW legend Lynette Woodard (major college scoring record) to Pete Maravich (most career points in D-I history for men and women), Caitlin Clark is just getting started.
In the two games that she’s played since March Madness, Clark scored 27 points, eight rebounds, and 10 assists vs Holy Cross (March 23). And tonight, she had 32 points, eight rebounds, and three assists.
Aside from that, she is averaging 31.8 points per game this season. But her career stats are just as impressive, if not more. Clark had 57 30-point games, the most by a D-I player in the past 25 seasons.
She ranks second in triple-doubles (17) and has had 12 40-point games in her career.
The next closest record Caitlin could break or tie would be the career scoring average.
Patricia Hoskins has the highest career points per game – 28.4 (1985-89). Clark is averaging 28.37 points per game in her career, so it won’t be too long before she adds another feather to her cap before she leaves for the WNBA.
Hot news: Cameras captured the moment Kim Mulkey told Angel Reese LSU earned a No. 3 seed On Selection Sunday, the selection committee revealed that LSU earned a top seed in the Albany 2 region. Angel Reese was so excited upon hearing the announcement that LSU earned the No. 2 seed that she started clapping and smiling.
That’s when Kim Mulkey had to break it to her that the team actually earned the No. 3. seed.

The Selection Sunday reactions have been dropping all over social media, and the LSU Lady Tigers reacting to their journey is making the rounds.
First, it was Hailey Van Lith trolling her former team for being in the same region as LSU and having to play Middle Tennessee.
Now, more footage of that moment is surfacing, and Angel Reese can be seen giddily telling Kim Mulkey and Van Lith that the Tigers were a No. 2 seed.
Kim Mulkey quickly clarifies that LSU actually has a No. 3 seed. In real time, Reese starts to understand the gravity of the situation, and her face awkwardly turns from happiness to sadness. (See the 34-second mark of the clip below.)
Loved the reactions that @sayneykid captured at LSU Sunday

Caitlin Clark breaks Pete Maravich’s all-time scoring record: Iowa star makes history in win over Ohio State
Iowa basketball superstar Caitlin Clark on Sunday became the NCAA’s overall career leader in points.
In her 130th game, with her 3,668th point, Clark passed former LSU star “Pistol” Pete Maravich, who scored 3,667 in 83 games from 1967-1970 at LSU.It was only a matter of time.
Iowa’s Caitlin Clark passed Pete Maravich for the NCAA’s all-time scoring record in both men’s and women’s college basketball after a flurry of 3-pointers to start the Hawkeyes’ game against Ohio State.

The record-breaking points came from the free-throw line just before the end of the second quarter as the Iowa star calmly sunk two from the stripe to pen her name in history.
Clark entered her final collegiate regular season game needing 18 points to pass Maravich. She averaged a career-high 32.2 points per game to stay on pace for the record largely viewed as untouchable over the past 54 years.
She didn’t let up after hitting the mark but did cool off a bit, finishing the game with 35 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds in a 93-83 win over No. 2 Ohio State.

The prodigious shooter previously broke the NCAA women’s scoring record on Feb. 15. On Thursday, she passed Lynette Woodard’s forgotten scoring mark in a standout triple-double effort. And now she’s the all-time scoring champ for both men’s and women’s basketball.
