Caitlin Clark has taken the college basketball world by storm. The Iowa basketball superstar is on the cusp of breaking the NCAA all-time women's scoring record.

Clark finished Sunday's loss to Nebraska with 31 points. Entering Thursday's game against Michigan, Clark is seven points shy of tying the record and eight points to become the sole owner of the new scoring title. Iowa coach Lisa Bluder initially intended to call a time-out in order to allow Clark, the team and the fans to savor the moment.

But the standout point guard is not interested in the game stopping briefly: "I hope they don’t stop the game," Clark told reporters on Wednesday. "We can’t be wasting time-outs on that, come on now."
