Everyone knows Caitlin Clark can score, and, at times, she does it at will when she is feeling it. But, that isn’t all the the Iowa Hawkeyes‘ all-world guard can do. In fact, she is one of the best passers to ever come through Big Ten women’s basketball.
Iowa thumped the Wisconsin Badgers by a score of 91-61 which was led by Clark’s 24 points, eight assists, and six rebounds. Along the way, she found herself entering a pretty exclusive group.
Caitlin Clark became the very first Big Ten women’s basketball player in history to be among the top 10 in both points scored and assists given. She creates offense in every single way and this record just shows that even more.

Clark is second in the nation in points per game with an average of 27.4 points, second in 3-pointers made (78), and leads the country in free throws made (171). Clark is first in America in total assists (208), tied with Nika Muhl of UConn. She also has 13 double-doubles and leads the country in triple-doubles with three.
Sitting at 21-5 with a 13-2 Big Ten record, the Hawkeyes are eyeing their chances to repeat as regular season and Big Ten Tournament champions and at a deep run in the 2023 NCAA Tournament.
Their next game on the schedule is Saturday, Feb. 18, when they hit the road to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 1 p.m. CT.
