Iowa's Clark closing in on two all-time scoring marks

Iowa senior Caitlin Clark has a good shot to move into second all-time on the career scoring list when No. 3 Iowa plays at Northwestern later today.

Clark, a senior, the nation’s leading scorer, and the reigning national player of the year, has 3,389 points and is four behind Missouri State’s Jackie Stiles (3,393) and 13 away from Ohio State’s Kelsey Mitchell (3,402).

Passing Mitchell would give

Clark the Big Ten scoring mark. Kelsey Plum holds the all-time mark with 3,527 points.

The 6-foot guard also averages 7.6 assists per game and 7.1 rebounds. Her assist total of 160 leads the nation and her per-game average ranks second.

Men NO. 4 HOUSTON 76, TEXAS 72, OT >>

J’wan Roberts made a tiebreaking layup with 37 seconds left in overtime and Emanuel Sharp’s four free throws over the final 10 seconds lifted the visiting Cougars on Monday night in Austin. Jamal Shead led all scorers with 25 points for Houston (19-2, 6-2 Big 12). Shead came up with big shots time after time in a defensive slugfest when the Cougars struggled to find any offensive rhythm. Shead’s consecutive 3-pointers in the second half came in a 9-0 run that helped Houston regain the lead after the Longhorns rallied from 11 points down. The Big 12’s best defensive team held Texas (14-7, 3-5) to a single basket in overtime.

NO. 7 DUKE 77, VIRGINIA TECH 67 >> Jeremy Roach scored 16 points off the bench, Kyle Filipowski added 14, and Tyrese Proctor had 12 as the visiting Blue Devils won their third in a row and 11th in the past 12 games.
