History likely will be made Thursday night in Iowa City, as Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark is just eight points shy of setting a new NCAA Division I women’s college basketball scoring record. The No. 4 Hawkeyes also will look to get back on track as a team, after a stunning upset loss at Nebraska on Sunday. Clark led all scorers with 31 points, but the Huskers made her work to get there, holding her to 10-of-25 shooting from the field and 5-of-15 on three-pointers. Nebraska pulled off an 82–79 win over then-No. 2 Iowa. Clark and the Hawkeyes play host to Michigan at 8 p.m. ET Thursday night, and with the NCAA career record set to fall, the get-in price is surging.
As of Wednesday morning, the get-in price at SI Tickets is a whopping $421 for a single ticket, which includes all fees. At Stubhub, getting in the door costs $379 with fees. Vivid Seats costs $387.50 after fees, and TickPick is $368 all-in for a single ticket. SeatGeek is currently the cheapest option, at $234 with fees. In the NCAA record book, Clark (3,520 points) trails only Washington legend Kelsey Plum (3,527), who scorched the nets for the Huskies from 2013 to ’17. However, there is another college basketball great whose unofficial record is still a ways off for Clark.
Kansas’s Lynette Woodard scored 3,649 points in her career from 1977 to ’81, but her collegiate career predated the years in which the NCAA governed women’s hoops. At 32.1 points per game, Clark likely will pass Woodard as well in the next four or five contests.
