Yeah that’s my point. She’s not a generational talent and that term gets thrown around loosely too often in all sports.
Honest question but does she lead both in turnovers too? She almost got the quadruple double the other night!
That chicken wing stays out there all the time. I hope S. Carolina takes them by 30 but I'll settle for 1,just so I don't have to hear about them every freaking day.
She's got the highest scoring average of all time. By the end of next year will probably have the all time record for points and be like top 5 all time for assists. Cannot imagine someone is doing that again anytime soon.
She was second highest a game or so ago.
Yep, just checked and she is just in second, one and a half behind first.

If by strict definition, you’re limiting it picking the best player in a 20 year cycle. I.e. Lebron, Jordan, etc. then you’re probably correct. Although that could change in the next two years.
If you’re arguing she’s not one of the best women’s college basketball players of all time already. That’s already debatable and barring injury won’t be debatable. She will be.

Maybe there was someone who played before sports reference has numbers for but this is what I was going off of.
Either way she's likely to finish next year with the overall scoring record and way more assists than anyone who has scored at the level she has.

Fair enough, I'll stand corrected. I wish there were better stat records for women's players, hopefully we're getting there soon.
Anyway even then she's second all time in points per game and the best scorer of the of the last thirty+ years. Not much of a stretch to say she's the best offensive player of her generation at least
Yeah, you can sometimes. I'm sure Lieberman was a great player though. No offense to her. Clark is just that good.
Hi Hawkize, thanks for lurking! Question for ya: how’s the single life going? I’m pretty sure if my wife left me because I spent too much time online, I’d probably cut back a bit but you do you, boo! Does your boss at the Credit Union know you spend most of your day online?
Oh he tagged me? I don’t think people understood what I meant. Someone said she’s the best shooter since Pistol Pete which is what I responded to. For example Tyrus McGee, Jake Sullivan and other Iowa State players were better shooters than Clark. That doesn’t mean they were better basketball players in their game or better at anything else. Clark is a good shooter but not great. Clark is a great basketball player though.
He just needs that Twitter validation which is ironic because that’s what got him divorced.
Give Clark credit. In the post-game interview when they asked about the triple double, Clark was the one who quickly mentioned that she almost had a quadruple double because of the turnovers.
I really want to roast this headline but I don’t pay for athletic and it wouldn’t be fair. I’ll do it here though.
Longevity made Iowa a winner? She made the post season 6 times before her first and only losing season.
Loyalty? She’s at Iowa. What other opportunities does she have that aren’t a lateral move? There is UCONN and maybe 1 or 2 that would be considered an upgrade.
Not denying she’s a great coach. Just seems like a bad thesis. I’d say it’s in state talent and the state of Iowa’s overall support for women’s athletics that make Iowa team’s successful.
