Clark and the No. 4 Hawkeyes (23-3) have four regular-season games remaining, meaning Clark needs to average 24.5 points per game to tie Maravich (she trails by 98 points).
Clark averages 32.8 points this season and scored 49 in her last outing — exactly half of those 98 points.
Clark and the Hawkeyes play at the No. 14 Indiana Hoosiers (21-4) at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday.
Clark also has some wiggle room, considering Iowa still has the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA Women’s Tournament ahead.
“She’s the biggest star in college basketball, men’s or women’s,” said FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd, host of “The Herd.”
“It’s like a rock band tour. They sell out every road game.”

Maravich’s career point total is noteworthy because he did it in three seasons, playing 83 games total for LSU. Clark has already played 126 games for the Hawkeyes.
Maravich also achieved that record without the 3-point shot, whereas Clark has made 478 3-pointers, meaning 1,434 of her total points — or 478 “extra” points — have come from 3-point range.
In addition, the shot clock was not instituted in college basketball until the 1985-86 season. Since its introduction, scoring has increased, as the ticking clock prevents teams from stalling for extended periods.
“It also matters that she’s great and fun and a playmaker and unique. She shoots 3s that look long by NBA standards. She’s a little bit of Steph [Curry] and a little of Trae Young,” Cowherd said.
“Fans want to feel invested and fans want to invest. And she produces double-digit returns. She never puts on a bad show, always ready to play — hurt, she plays. Falls? Gets up and plays. Doesn’t have off nights. Never shies away from controversy, double teams. Aggressive, fun, good spirit. It’s an excellent TV show.
“I like a story I can depend on. Caitlin Clark is that, and she’s not finished.”
