Long before Iowa star Caitlin Clark hit her first long-range three or signed her first autograph, Pearl Moore set a scoring standard for women’s basketball that has stood for 45 years. The soft-spoken woman from South Carolina led her team at Francis Marion to the postseason four years in a row, averaging more than 30 points every season. The 5-foot-7 guard once scored 60 points in a game. She did it all under the radar in many ways, playing at a tiny school from 1975-79 when the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) oversaw the sport. Her career points total - a staggering 4,061 - still stands as the overall record in women’s hoops and is unlikely to fall this season even if Clark and the Hawkeyes make another deep NCAA Tournament run.
No matter the comparison what a great example of leadership and sportsmanship. I wish her well and compliment the things she has done to bring fans to women's college basketball! Congratulations!
Taking nothing away from this young ladies amazing achievement.But Pistol Pete had the record for 54 years and he did it in 84 games and no 3 point line.Just to put some light on how good the Pistol was.Go Caitlyn great job nobody can take away how great of an achievement you have reached.
@@clipcoug1139 And would've averaged FIFTY-SIX (yes 56) ppg if he had a three-[point shot to work with. I'm here betting you would not be here begrudging , say, the number of shots Steph Curry took if he AVERAGED 56 points per game and turned a football school into a SEC contender almost by himself.
@@GooberJones-yn2iz: Pete would average 57 a game according to a former LSU coach. Smells of bias No, I wouldn't actually begudge Curry for that, but LSU was horrible in Pete's 1st 2 seasons. LSU finished 2nd his senior season, but nobody in the conference was contending with Kentucky.
Pete would be saying....Hey, we didn't even have 3 pointers back in my day so her record shouldn't count against mine. When he set the record, 3 pointers didn't exist and the max you could play in college was 3 years(freshmen weren't allowed to play). Pete played the max amount, 3 years and 3 pointers weren't a thing...... CC breaking his record is very misleading and shouldn't be included with past records since the rules have so massively changed. Had Pete been allowed to play 4 years like CC or if his shots would've counted as 3 pointer like CC...He would have a huge lead on her.

One of the greatest players I have ever seen. Her shooting is absolutely phenomenal. I never watched women’s basketball until Caitlin Clark. I never miss her games now. The GOAT !
I’m happy that she broke the record. Don’t get me wrong. But we’re talking about 2 different eras here and Pete didn’t even have the 3-point shot back then. Plus he got his points in fewer games. But I digress. Congratulations to CC.
I disagree, the rules had to change for her to do this. Her record should not be included with Petes, it's very misleading. When Pete set the record the max you could play in college was 3 years...CC has played 4. When Pete set the record, 3 pointers didn't even exist....Most of CC points are from 3 pointers. Even without giving Pete that extra year, but just re-calculate his shots that counted as 2 points that today would be counted as 3....and Pete is by far still the NCAA points leader. The record books should be divided to show the different eras, she should be the new era points record holder since the massive rules change but it shouldn't count against Petes record from the previous rules. Just imagine in 20 years they change the rules to every shot was now worth 4 points instead of 2, and a player broke CC's record.... That new record shouldn't count against CCs record and take the top spot from her.
Are you on some quest for haters? Who hates on her? She's a great player. A phenomenal player. As for this "record"? Nah. Pistol Pete did it in 3 seasons not 4 and in nearly 50 fewer games. No different than single season NFL records that were set when they played 12 or 14 games instead of 17 now. Or when they 2001 Mariners tied the Cubs for wins in a season. The Cubs did it in 8 fewer games. No one will ever touch Pistol Pete's actual record. Dude averaged over 44 ppg to set the record.
I don't have a dog in this fight. But I was fortunate enough to have seen both of them play. Pete set his record in three years of play as freshmen were not eligible. Comparing the two is comparing apples and oranges. She did not break the scoring record if you only look at her last 3 years. Like I said, I don't care one way or the other but just saying.
But claiming she broke Pete's record shouldn't be allowed. The stats should be broken up into different era's b/c back when Pete broke the record freshmen weren't allowed to play(so he only played 3 seasons which was the max you could play) and the 3 point shot wasn't even a thing. Judging his stats by todays rules she wouldn't even be close to his record NCAA record.
@@bennypit4411 is Pete taking his 50 shots a game in the modern league? Hell no. Pete never made it to a final four, would we still be singing his praises now? Hell no.

Pete’s record is much more than the total amount of points he scored, but also in the environment he played in.

It doesn't matter. She beats him on triple-doubles, on FG%, and on FT%, so if everything was equalized, she still has him by about 400 points and has a real shot at Pearl Moore's 4,061.

@@matthewreese3907 I know men are butthurt that a woman now holds the NCAA D1 record for points scored. And on nearly 600 fewer shots attempted than what he accumulated. But that's what it is: It's butthurt.
@@matthewreese3907 If Caitlin took 38 shots and 14 free throws per game, without the three-point line... And if we only gave her 83 games... She would score 47.4 points per game, for a total of 3,934. That is comfortably ahead of the men's record of 3,667. So yes, she really is that tier of shooter. And pretending she only got where she got because of the three-point line or because of an extra year is self-serving butthurt. The same argument, reversed, would indicate that Pete Maravich's record was only possible because his dad gave him the ball more often than his teammates. And in fact, when Maravich makes the pros, his PPG plummets from 44.2 to 22.1, which is in the range of excellence but not so far out of range as his college numbers, where he was the only player of excellence on an otherwise weak LSU team.
@@katherineberger6329 Your argument is based on so many unknowns... I don't understand why people can't just be happy for Caitlin while still appreciating what Pistol Pete did. They both set records that are unmatchable. I'm sure that if Pete had a 3 point line his and his team's mindset and gameplan would be completely different. Sane as if Caitlin and her team didn't have a 3 point line. Technically, she beat him so she deserves the title but all I am saying is that it COULD have been a different story if they had the same rules of the game. Maybe not, he might've done worse with these things but i am saying we will never know.
Her haters are tripping, bro. Give this young lady credit for giving us pure greatness. With range like that, there's no freakin way her game won't translate VERY well in the league.
Pistol Pete's record stands, 3 years(no Freshman stats + The Pistol was packing the arena & D🏀MINATING! scoring 741 pts. When the Varsity squad took the floor the arena emptied out.), 83 games, no 3 ptrs in Maravich era. PP44, THE 🐐! CC22 rec*rd, 4 years, 104 gms so far, 500+ 3 ptrs. ❤ them both, just saying.
It really only counts as far as women's basketball is concerned and everybody knows that though. There's no competition if she was in men's league so get over that crap
@@otisb.driftwood2367 It does not "only" count as far as women's basketball. As I noted above, CC did not break the NCAA men's scoring record since she does not play NCAA men's bb but she definitely broke the NCAA scoring record. Your opinion may be that it should only count for women's basketball but the fact is CC holds the women's NCAA scoring records AND the all-time NCAA scoring record.
She is a great player and she's got the record in terms of raw numbers, but you can't compare her to Maravich. He played in an era where freshmen didn't play, there was no three point line and no shot clock. Even if he'd been allowed to play as a frosh his record would be out of sight. And this is not to knock her, as I said she is a great player. But what he did was otherworldly - 44 points a game for his whole three year career. we should just celebrate them both.
If her dad was the coach and she shot 50 times a game on way worse efficiency and she never won anything because she was a ball hog, you'd be impressed? 😂 Okay lil dude.
@@wuper2270 I see you have a problem being objective and factual. If indeed Pete was just a ball hog as you desperately try to portray him, his peers would not have voted him as one of the fifty best NBA players ever. His FG percentage was just fine and he did not shoot 50 shots a game of course. He DID average 56 pts per game--twice what Caitline averaged. Please stop.
Yep. But it was determined that Pete would've average 56 pts per game if they had a three- point line when he played. So essentially he averaged TWICE what she did.
This is what women's basketball needs. You have to make stories out of your players. Give people a reason to watch. The nfl does it the best. Every player is different
So tired all of all the haters. Trying to diminish a great accomplishment. In every sport times change how the game is played. Why when a person achieves greatness and breaks a record, there are are few petty people who diminish the accomplishment with excuses as to why this wasn't a phenomenal moment in all of sports. This is a great moment in college basketball history. Just for once try to enjoy a record being surpassed.
Clark broke the record when she surpassed Kelsey Plum's old record. I don't know who came up with the great idea to say that Pistol Pete's record was there for her to take next. Did I miss something? Has she been secretly playing on the men's team? Does she dribble and shoot a size 7 ball while the other girls play with the size 6 and do they only count her 3's as a 3 when she shoots from the men's distance? Congrats to Caitlan for breaking Kelsey Plums record which is a significant feat. Everything else is just apples and oranges. Can't wait for her to break Lebron's record next.
@@sixfootbear Pete's FG percentage was quite normal. Fifty-seven points per game, twice what Caitlin averaged, is not normal in any stretch of the imagination.
if yall ain’t putting an asterisk on lebrons all time record because of the three point line or because of the amount of years he’s played, don’t do it here. the record is the record
This is like if a perennial minor league baseball player scored more career runs than the major league record holder Rickey Henderson, then fans of the minor leaguer say he has broken Henderson's record.
There is always a fucking misogynist downplaying women just minding their own business. You’re obsessed with your traditionalist mental paradigm that women must adhere to the frilly , weak homebody bs you grew up. Get a life
It's like she outperformed millions of others who took their shot at it and became the only person to ever achieve a milestone. If you sit alone over millions of others through decades of time, you must be doing something right.
Crazy how her feet and shoulders are not set when she release the ball. Or how quickly she set and release. There is no human that can do that except for her and Stephan Curry of Golden State. Some people were born to shoot a basketball.
And took 40 shots a game..Jesus wept! There are some bitter people about. This woman is the Larry Bird of this generation.Treat her with the respect that she has earned!
@@sixfootbear She gets respect for becoming the all-time leading scorer as a woman, but she gets no respect for eclipsing the men's record because she had an extra year to reach the record, I will agree that her 3pt shots are cancelled by Pete's shot attempts but that still does not get around the fact that she stayed in college 4 years to Pete's 3 to catch the record.
I got goosebumps and almost teared up! BUT, it would have been nice for her to beat the record with a non-free-throw shot. I'm also surprised that the Iowa coach didn't call a timeout after the feat.
While this achievement is a great one, never forget that Maravich played in the pre-3 point shot era. How many more points would he have scored had they counted the shots he made beyond today's 3 point line as 3 points instead of 2?
When they were comparing her to Lynette Woodard, I looked at Caitlin's 4 year stats and converted her 3 pointers to 2 points. So for a fair comparison, she would still need over 500 points to go to pass Lynette, so I'm fairly sure that would be about the same for Pete!
You have to stay close to her even when she's five feet behind the arc, or she'll drill it. That's Steph Curry type shit.

Just imagine in 20 years they change the rules to every shot was now worth 4 points instead of 2 or 3 pointers were now 6 pointers, and a player broke CC's record.... That new record shouldn't count against CCs record and take the top spot from her in her era. Obviously it should be mentioned but not against CC's record.
@@hughbennett5342 I never heard of combined categories between men and women’s sports. They’ve always been separate.
@@zt1053 Absolutely and you shouldn't compare the two! Pistol Pete was great for men's college basketball and Caitlin Clark was great for women's college basketball.
4 years vs 3 years and no 3 point line 😂😂😂😂😂
Agreed, but still quite an accomplishment.
Male ego is fuckin fragile.
This will be a moment to remember for a long time
She has changed the game, I think it’s so amazing. Clark is by far the most IMPORTANT women’s college player of all time.
Fantastic player
Caitlin's wrist snap is LETHAL!!!
You can count on one hand the amount of people in the world as good as Clark at getting their feet set.
So happy for Caitlin! Let's remember though: Pistol Pete played only 3 years (freshmen not allowed) and there was no 3-point shot.
How SweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeT, it is !!! Congratulations Caitlin & the Hawkeyes !!!!!!!!! Excellent coaching staff !!!
Just keep eating your FUDGE ROUNDS Swoops , go Caitlin
Different era I get it but Pistol did this in 3 seasons and no 3 pt line. Freshman didn’t play, 25 regular season games not 30, so pistol Pete is still the king
It doesn't matter. She beats him on triple-doubles, on FG%, and on FT%, so if everything was equalized, she still has him by about 400 points and has a real shot at Pearl Moore's 4,061.
@@katherineberger6329 Sorry but that's so false lol. Caitlin is amazing but if Pistol Peter had a 3 point line AND played his freshman year he would be wayyy ahead of her.
@@matthewreese3907 I know men are butthurt that a woman now holds the NCAA D1 record for points scored. And on nearly 600 fewer shots attempted than what he accumulated. But that's what it is: It's butthurt.
@@matthewreese3907 If Caitlin took 38 shots and 14 free throws per game, without the three-point line...
And if we only gave her 83 games...
She would score 47.4 points per game, for a total of 3,934.
That is comfortably ahead of the men's record of 3,667.
So yes, she really is that tier of shooter. And pretending she only got where she got because of the three-point line or because of an extra year is self-serving butthurt.
The same argument, reversed, would indicate that Pete Maravich's record was only possible because his dad gave him the ball more often than his teammates. And in fact, when Maravich makes the pros, his PPG plummets from 44.2 to 22.1, which is in the range of excellence but not so far out of range as his college numbers, where he was the only player of excellence on an otherwise weak LSU team.
@@katherineberger6329 Your argument is based on so many unknowns... I don't understand why people can't just be happy for Caitlin while still appreciating what Pistol Pete did. They both set records that are unmatchable. I'm sure that if Pete had a 3 point line his and his team's mindset and gameplan would be completely different. Sane as if Caitlin and her team didn't have a 3 point line. Technically, she beat him so she deserves the title but all I am saying is that it COULD have been a different story if they had the same rules of the game. Maybe not, he might've done worse with these things but i am saying we will never know.
Maravich would run circles around her before she could blink
Her haters are tripping, bro. Give this young lady credit for giving us pure greatness. With range like that, there's no freakin way her game won't translate VERY well in the league.
I think my favorite part is that she's rocking Kobe's to get it done. Kobe the fandom and tribute
Love watching Clark play, he's soo good!
Pistol Pete's record stands, 3 years(no Freshman stats + The Pistol was packing the arena & D🏀MINATING! scoring 741 pts. When the Varsity squad took the floor the arena emptied out.), 83 games, no 3 ptrs in Maravich era. PP44, THE 🐐! CC22 rec*rd, 4 years, 104 gms so far, 500+ 3 ptrs. ❤ them both, just saying.
Lame
A new NCAA women’s record! Congrats!
Actually it's an NCAA record all round! She has more points than anybody 😍
Congrats to Caitlin for breaking the NCAA scoring record. 🎉🎉
It really only counts as far as women's basketball is concerned and everybody knows that though. There's no competition if she was in men's league so get over that crap
@@otisb.driftwood2367 It does not "only" count as far as women's basketball. As I noted above, CC did not break the NCAA men's scoring record since she does not play NCAA men's bb but she definitely broke the NCAA scoring record. Your opinion may be that it should only count for women's basketball but the fact is CC holds the women's NCAA scoring records AND the all-time NCAA scoring record.
@@otisb.driftwood2367how is it her fault that there is no competition for her?
@@otisb.driftwood2367you’re a moron!
She broke the women's record. There isn't a college men's team she'd even make.
It's been so much fun watching Caitlin's career. Giver her a shot in the NBA.
She's got the curry vibe. Let her enter the NBA draft
Glad to see Lynette Woodward come out to give Caitlin support, Class Act.
Go buckeyes!! I’m a huge Caitlin fan but I bleed scarlet and grey
Congrats on breaking the women’s record.
Good Shooting: Consistency owns it. WNBA next level. 50 Points Pentacles: Winning (35) Telesis
You Go Caitlin!! Incredible absolutely Amazing!! 🎉
She is a great player and she's got the record in terms of raw numbers, but you can't compare her to Maravich. He played in an era where freshmen didn't play, there was no three point line and no shot clock. Even if he'd been allowed to play as a frosh his record would be out of sight. And this is not to knock her, as I said she is a great player. But what he did was otherworldly - 44 points a game for his whole three year career. we should just celebrate them both.
She doesn't get 40 shots a game,she doesn't get a choice about which games she plays in and her coach is not her dad.
@@sixfootbear Slow down. Nobody is trying to belittle either of their achievements. They are both remarkable players in their own rights.
The WNBA better not mess this up
They will, its a gua- ran - tee
Caitlin Vs Curry next year NBA All Star 3 pt contest game lets go!!!!
How many people here think we should count all 4 seasons of Pete's college career, and not just 3? (They're countung all 4 of Caitlin's.)
When she sets the record in three years like Pete did, then I’ll be impressed 😂
If her dad was the coach and she shot 50 times a game on way worse efficiency and she never won anything because she was a ball hog, you'd be impressed? 😂 Okay lil dude.
@@wuper2270 I see you have a problem being objective and factual. If indeed Pete was just a ball hog as you desperately try to portray him, his peers would not have voted him as one of the fifty best NBA players ever.
His FG percentage was just fine and he did not shoot 50 shots a game of course.
He DID average 56 pts per game--twice what Caitline averaged. Please stop.
Pete averaged 44 points a game.Clark 28...
Yep. But it was determined that Pete would've average 56 pts per game if they had a three- point line when he played.
So essentially he averaged TWICE what she did.
I don't think it's a stretch to say that Caitlin Clark has single-handedily saved women's NAACP basketball. Am I wrong??
'let me hear you' celebration is 🔥
Her teammates were the story. They payed great.
MAGNETIC technology in women's college basketball
Awesome player
Waiting for ESPN haters
00:31 What an effort given by the defender!
She's so good, even people like me who don't follow college basketball know who she is.
This is what women's basketball needs. You have to make stories out of your players. Give people a reason to watch. The nfl does it the best. Every player is different
Gunna be honest…only time I e watched women’s basketball was for its bloopers…was fun watching history being made from Clark
But it doesn't really count, 3 pointers didn't exist when Pete played.
she has such a powerful step back. makes her create so much space between her and the defender. her shooting form is perfect!
INDIANA STAND UP WE GOT A SUPERSTAR IN THE MAKING
So tired all of all the haters. Trying to diminish a great accomplishment. In every sport times change how the game is played. Why when a person achieves greatness and breaks a record, there are are few petty people who diminish the accomplishment with excuses as to why this wasn't a phenomenal moment in all of sports. This is a great moment in college basketball history. Just for once try to enjoy a record being surpassed.
It’s literally impossible for every person to like a particular player, Why consume yourself with the impossible, At least 90% likes her.
@@commonsense3921 I agree with what you are saying. You corrected my mindset. Appreciate and welcome the advice.
Unbelievable!!!
She is a beast!!! Wnba you wanted someone to draw a crowd,,,, presented!
I really hope they win the chip this year
Would be awesome. SCAR is probably wanting us though lol.
Dude, Clark is going to become a WNBA LEGEND when she joins the league. Honestly, the BEST women’s basketball player I’ve EVER seen
Clark broke the record when she surpassed Kelsey Plum's old record. I don't know who came up with the great idea to say that Pistol Pete's record was there for her to take next. Did I miss something? Has she been secretly playing on the men's team? Does she dribble and shoot a size 7 ball while the other girls play with the size 6 and do they only count her 3's as a 3 when she shoots from the men's distance? Congrats to Caitlan for breaking Kelsey Plums record which is a significant feat. Everything else is just apples and oranges. Can't wait for her to break Lebron's record next.
It is what it is -- a remarkable achievement.
Beast mode
".50 Caliber Cait", in memory of Pistol Pete.
Pete maravich didn't have a three-point line. If he did he would have averaged 57 points a game
running 40 shots a game not 20?
@@sixfootbear Pete's FG percentage was quite normal.
Fifty-seven points per game, twice what Caitlin averaged, is not normal in any stretch of the imagination.
Nice accomplishment. But 40 more games, a shot clock, more seasons and a 3 point kinda was in her favor....
if yall ain’t putting an asterisk on lebrons all time record because of the three point line or because of the amount of years he’s played, don’t do it here. the record is the record
There is no asterisk. The next 4-5 women all played in the 3 point era
This is like if a perennial minor league baseball player scored more career runs than the major league record holder Rickey Henderson, then fans of the minor leaguer say he has broken Henderson's record.
There is always a fucking misogynist downplaying women just minding their own business. You’re obsessed with your traditionalist mental paradigm that women must adhere to the frilly , weak homebody bs you grew up. Get a life
It's like she outperformed millions of others who took their shot at it and became the only person to ever achieve a milestone. If you sit alone over millions of others through decades of time, you must be doing something right.
Sure, she outperformed millions of others. But she will have to shoot the ball in the bucket about 500 more times to catch Pete Maravich.
congrats Catitlin !!!! and thank you for attending IOWA. 😂 let’s go Hawkeyes !!!
You think any coach would have let any player, male or female, shoot this deep before Steph. Amazing, the evolution of the game.
Crazy how her feet and shoulders are not set when she release the ball. Or how quickly she set and release. There is no human that can do that except for her and Stephan Curry of Golden State. Some people were born to shoot a basketball.
Did she really break a record? Pete Maravich set that record in 3 seasons without shooting 3 pointers.
And took 40 shots a game..Jesus wept! There are some bitter people about. This woman is the Larry Bird of this generation.Treat her with the respect that she has earned!
@@sixfootbear She gets respect for becoming the all-time leading scorer as a woman, but she gets no respect for eclipsing the men's record because she had an extra year to reach the record, I will agree that her 3pt shots are cancelled by Pete's shot attempts but that still does not get around the fact that she stayed in college 4 years to Pete's 3 to catch the record.
@@sixfootbear What you call "bitterness" we call "just being real." You need to work on that.
I got goosebumps and almost teared up! BUT, it would have been nice for her to beat the record with a non-free-throw shot. I'm also surprised that the Iowa coach didn't call a timeout after the feat.
Glad to see Chris from mr. Beast living her best life.
Yes we have 3 point shots now. But she also did this averaging around 20 shots a game. While Pete averaged almost 40 shots per game.
lowa and Ohio state final 4 O yeah 🏀
Congratulations 👏
thinking about her and Boston on the Fever next year is giving me hope for the future
You literally can’t let her touch the ball 😂😂. Playing off of her is insane. I just wish she had more help.
While this achievement is a great one, never forget that Maravich played in the pre-3 point shot era. How many more points would he have scored had they counted the shots he made beyond today's 3 point line as 3 points instead of 2?
and he took like 40 shots a game... So no 2 records are ever identical- so stop trying to add asterisks....
When they were comparing her to Lynette Woodard, I looked at Caitlin's 4 year stats and converted her 3 pointers to 2 points. So for a fair comparison, she would still need over 500 points to go to pass Lynette, so I'm fairly sure that would be about the same for Pete!
@@lowepgand she is playing against laughable competition. Any high school boys team would destroy them lol
Pete also had only 3 years he scored that in.
And played in a Men's league.
