Update: Caitlin Clark’s record-setting scoring quest comes to Minnesota on Wednesday

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Caitlin Clark scored 24 points on the way to her 16th career triple-double, Hannah Stuelke added 20 and No. 4 Iowa defeated Illinois 101-85 on Sunday.

Here’s how that win impacted Clark’s chances of setting NCAA all-time scoring records, a pursuit that continues Wednesday when Iowa comes to Minnesota to play the Gophers at Williams Arena, a game that is a sell-out.

* Clark has 3,617 points with two conference games remaining: at Minnesota and Sunday vs. No. 2-ranked Ohio State in Iowa City. If the game against the Gophers is one-sided in Iowa’s favor, would coach Lisa Bluder pull Clark so she could set records in front of a home crowd?

* She needs 32 points to reach the all-time women’s major college record of 3,649, which was set by Lynette Woodard of Kansas from 1977-1981. The record is not recognized by the NCAA because it did not sanction women’s basketball at the time. Women’s sports during that time were under the direction of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).

* She is 50 points away from the all-time Division I scoring record of 3,667 set by Pete Maravich of LSU. Maravich scored those points over three seasons (1977-1980) because freshmen were ineligible to play varsity sports.

Clark had 15 rebounds and 10 assists for her Division I-leading fifth triple-double of the season as Iowa (24-4, 13-3 Big Ten) bounced back from a loss to No. 14 Indiana. Clark, the nation’s leading scorer at 32.1 points per game, went 6 of 18 from the field, including 5 of 14 in 3-pointers.

Clark showed frustration at times. When she came to the bench in the first half, she smacked her hands on a chair twice in anger.

''I think it was just missing shots that I usually make,'' Clark said. ''Sometimes you have to let it out and regroup. I asked for the sub, just to take a second, take a deep breath. Obviously I didn't shoot it great tonight but still, it wasn't terrible.''

Molly Davis had 17 points and Kate Martin had 13 for the Hawkeyes. Iowa, the nation's leader in scoring offense at 91.8 points per game, topped the 100-point mark for the ninth time this season.

''We want people to step up, because it makes Caitlin's job easier,'' Bluder said. ''When other people are doing what they should be doing, it makes her job easier, and it makes us more enjoyable to watch.''

Clark struggled with her shooting in the first half, but her teammates stepped up. Clark was just 2 of 9 from the field, 1 of 7 in 3-pointers, but the Hawkeyes built a 50-34 halftime lead behind Davis, who had 12 points, and Stuelke, who had 10. Iowa had a 10-0 run in the first quarter and a 12-2 run in the second.

Makira Cook scored 26 points to lead five players for Illinois (13-13, 7-9) in double figures. Genesis Bryant had 19 points, Adalia McKenzie added 13, Camille Hobby had 12 and Kendall Bostic contributed 10 points and 17 rebounds.
