As much as things change, they stay the same.
Iowa Hawkeyes superstar senior guard Caitlin Clark still reigns supreme. In its updated ranking of the top 25 players in women’s college basketball, Clark checks in at No. 1 … again.
Just like ESPN’s November edition of the women’s basketball player top 25, Clark was the unanimous No. 1 choice across ESPN’s 21 ballots.
I mean, who else could it be?
Clark has done nothing but reinforce the superstardom that surrounds her and fill up the stat sheet night after night. In leading No. 3 Iowa to a 12-1 (1-0 Big Ten) start, the West Des Moines native has been largely fabulous.
She already has a pair of triple-doubles this season, joining former Oregon great Sabrina Ionescu as the only women’s college basketball players to record triple-doubles in four seasons. Meanwhile, Clark keeps charging up the all-time women’s college basketball scoring list.
In fact, her 30.5 points per game average and her 48.7% field goal shooting are career bests. Clark is shooting 39.2% from 3-point distance, which ranks second among her four seasons in Iowa City.
The 6-foot senior guard is also averaging 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Her 3.7 turnovers per game this season are a career low.
It’s tough to remain atop the mountain of greatness when the world expects it from you every night. But, Clark has handled that pressure incredibly well and has her Hawkeyes squarely in the mix for a No. 1 seed come NCAA Tournament time.
Let’s take a look at all of Clark’s numbers so far and what ESPN had to say about her start to the 2023-24 women’s college basketball season. Plus, who else cracks ESPN’s top 10 players thus far and where do they stack up compared to where they were slotted when the season began?
