I read where 6'2" USC point guard just scored her 1000th point in just 38 games. It took Caitlin Clark 40 games to do so. It is already being mentioned JuJu just might have the game to reach CC's lofty numbers.

In the WNBA, players can't leave college early to join the pro league so JuJu will play four years.
 
Two fewer games to get to 1000--good for Watkins--but Clark ended up with 3,951 points, and got more productive every year. Plus, the number of games CC played include 4 straight runs to the B1G Tournament title game, and with two seasons extended to the maximum number of games by back-to-back NCAA title game appearances.

Clark's stats:
Year Points Points per game
Frosh 799 26.6
Soph 863 27.0
Jr 1,055 27.8
Sr 1,234 31.6

With USC now in the Big 18, Iowa fans will get to see how Watkins progresses. There's still a long way to go to get to the top of the list of all-time scorers!
 
Did Clark miss a single game in her career from injury? If she did, it wasn't many. Her total games played will be tough to beat so she will need to score more than Clark per game to do it. That's going to be really tough to do. She may very well end up a better basketball player tho.

I don't think so Covid shortened Iowas 2020 season by a handful of non conference games. Besides that she played sick at Nebraska once with a migrane and had other migrane games she toughed out. Besides that no she never actually missed a game played 139 of em.

Through 4 games JuJu is avging 21.5 and shooting 42% She's not off to a hot start by any means.
USC has a transfer from Stanford that's a heck of a player that demands her own fair share of touches too. They won't be the same one woman sort of team they were last yr either. I think it'll be tough for JuJu (or anyone) to catch what Clark did over 4 yrs. If it was someone woulda done it by now or gotten closer to it. But Clark obliterated it.

I just wish Clark had gotten like 3-4 more non-con games to pad her stats. I woulda liked to see Clark get to 2nd all time in assists and she woulda gotten that if so.

Oh that's right. I think the season was 7 games short.
