Caitlin Clark is a phenomenon and sports fans know it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Wednesday night Clark broke more all-time records in NCAA women\u2019s basketball in her team\u2019s final Big Ten season road game, as her Hawkeyes blew out Minnesota 108-60.<\/p>\n\n

The tickets for Clark\u2019s final home game on Sunday, should she decide not to come back next year, are going for over $5,000.<\/p>\n

ESPN<\/a> writes:<\/p>\n

Iowa Hawkeyes<\/a>\u00a0guard\u00a0Caitlin Clark<\/a>\u00a0broke the NCAA women\u2019s scoring record in early February \u2014 and looks to shatter another record by filling the seats of Carver-Hawkeye Arena.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the No. 6 Hawkeyes will go head-to-head with the No. 2\u00a0Ohio State Buckeyes<\/a>\u00a0for senior night. It\u2019ll cost $408 to see the potential first-round WNBA draft pick in what could be her final regular-season home game in an Iowa jersey.<\/p>\n

he most expensive listing for the game is at $5,199, according to Vivid Seats.<\/p>\n

Tickets to see Clark\u2019s matchup against the top-ranked Buckeyes have surpassed all women\u2019s college basketball and WNBA games as the most expensive for a women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

This comes after Clark set the scoring record against the\u00a0Michigan Wolverines<\/a>\u00a0on Feb. 15, where tickets were $337. That price increased by 45% for the final home game.<\/p>\n

Recently, the Big Ten sold out of tickets for the women\u2019s basketball conference tournament, marking the first sellout in in nearly three decades of its existence. <\/p>\n

lark is only 18 points away from passing \u201cPistol Pete\u201d Maravich for the all-time scoring lead in NCAA basketball, men\u2019s or women\u2019s, and she is expected to surpass this mark on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The former UCLA and Pro basketball great Bill Walton sees comparisons<\/a> between Clark and Maravich.<\/p>\n

Two days before Christmas 1969, Bill Walton first saw Pete Maravich in person.<\/p>\n

A high school senior from San Diego headed to hoops immortality at UCLA, Walton watched at Pauley Pavilion as the LSU legend went through his pregame warmup drills.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a genius,\u201d Walton told ESPN. \u201cAnd as is often the case with geniuses, they get bored very quickly. So he was constantly challenging himself. He was a showman, and he loved the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walton understands why people see similarities between Maravich and Iowa women\u2019s college basketball star Caitlin Clark, who is closing in on passing Maravich for the Division I men\u2019s and women\u2019s scoring mark. Maravich scored 3,667 points from 1967-70; Clark is at 3,650. She enters Sunday\u2019s regular-season finale at home against Ohio State just 18 points shy of breaking the record.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I watch her play, which is as often as possible, it just puts a giant smile on my face,\u201d Walton said. \u201cThe beauty of basketball is that it\u2019s not all about size and strength. It\u2019s about skill, timing and position, and she has all of that stuff and more. She awes people with her imagination and creativity. She makes it fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maravich was born in 1947 and died at age 40 in 1988, 14 years before Clark was born. In that time, the world of basketball expanded enormously, including the modern-day women\u2019s game. Maravich\u2019s college career came before freshman eligibility, so he played just three seasons \u2014 83 total games \u2014 at LSU. Before the 3-point shot and the shot clock, Maravich averaged 38.1 shots and 44.2 points per game. Clark, a senior, has averaged 19.9 shots and 28.3 points in 129 career games.<\/p>\n

Walton said statistical comparisons between different eras in sports are problematic because of all the variables. But what players can mean to a sport, and how they make people feel while watching them are more comparable.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaitlin is one of those rare forces of nature that when she\u2019s playing, you cannot take your eyes off her because she\u2019s just moving in this graceful and productive manner,\u201d Walton said. \u201cShe\u2019s also a result of the evolutionary process from the late \u201960s and early \u201970s, when women started to be empowered to play competitive sports. A whole lot of foundational players have come before her.\u201d <\/p>\n

Good luck getting a ticket to Sunday\u2019s final season game and most likely Clark\u2019s final NCAA regular season game at Iowa. <\/strong><\/p>\n
