Caitlin Clark will try to make history Thursday night when the fourth ranked Iowa Hawkeye women host Michigan. The senior guard needs eight points to break the NCAA all-time scoring mark currently held by former Washington star Kelsey Plum. Clark does not view the chase as a burden and is trying to enjoy the moment.

Clark says she is trying to stay focused on the game.

Clark says Plum has reached out and been very supportive as she chases the record and she has tried to keep it all in perspective.

Clark says she did not think about the possibility of breaking the record until well into this season.

Clark hopes the game is not stopped when she breaks the record. Iowa coach Lisa Bluder says there is nothing planned.

Clark was a prized recruit coming out of Dowling Catholic High School but Bluder admits she had no idea there was this kind of potential.

The Hawkeyes are 11-2 in the Big Ten and 22-3 overall.
