Caitlin Clark breaks another NCAA record, one she previously shared with Steph Curry
Caitlin Clark isn’t done breaking NCAA records in her final season for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Clark, the all-time leading scorer in Division I college basketball, shattered the single-season three-pointers-made record she previously held with Golden State Warriors All-Star Steph Curry.
Clark, Curry, who played at Davidson, and former Liberty guard Darius McGhee all had 162 three-pointers made in a single season for a three-way tie.

But Clark went into Friday night’s contest against Penn State – the quarterfinal of the Big Ten Tournament – needing just one to break the record. However, in uncharacteristic fashion for Clark, it didn’t come until the fourth quarter.
Clark may have led the Hawkeyes in points with 24 on the night, but it was a poor shooting performance for her. She was only 5-of-19 from the field, including 2-of-14 from beyond the arc.

Those two threes, though, are record makers as she enters Saturday’s Big Ten semifinal against Michigan. Clark will also have the NCAA Tournament to continue pulling away from Curry and McGhee.
“I couldn’t imagine what it’s like now,” Curry told The Athletic about how much attention has been on Clark compared to when he was getting national coverage at Davidson in 2008. “Mine was before Twitter was really a thing. I didn’t get Instagram until I was a junior in college. So just the social media element makes it so much crazier.”

The Big Ten Tournament was sold out at the Target Center in Minneapolis for the first time in history, mostly thanks to people sprinting to see Clark. Over 109,000 fans bought tickets, according to Yahoo Sports.
Clark broke Pete Maravich’s 3,617 career points, a record he set over three seasons at LSU, on March 3. Clark scored 35 points against Ohio State to rewrite the history books.
She made her intentions known that she’s leaving Iowa to enter the WNBA Draft whenever her run with the Hawkeyes comes to an end. It could in the Big Ten Tournament on Saturday, as the format is single elimination.

However, Iowa will be in the NCAA Tournament one way or another. It just depends on their seeding at this point, which will come on March 17 during Selection Sunday.

Becky Lynch enters exclusive WWE club with Women’s Intercontinental Championship win at WrestleMania 42
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
LAS VEGAS – Becky Lynch entered an atmosphere no other WWE women’s superstar has ever reached as she won the Women’s Intercontinental Championship over AJ Lee on Saturday night at WrestleMania 42.
Lynch became the first person to hold the Women’s Intercontinental Championship three times after she pinned Lee. She first won the title against Lyra Valkyria in June 2025 and then again against Maxxine Dupri in November.

She dropped the belt to Lee at the Elimination Chamber, sparking a monthslong feud with her.
Lee gave Lynch the chance at the title in the weeks prior to WrestleMania 42. But it appeared Lee played right into Lynch’s plans. Despite arguing with referee Jessica Carr for most of the match, Lynch was able to tactfully tear down a rope buckle and use it to her advantage.
Lynch hit Lee with a Manhandle Slam and pinned her for the win.

It’s the second straight year Lynch will leave Las Vegas as champion. She returned to WWE at WrestleMania 41, teaming with Valkyria, to win the women’s tag titles. She will now leave Allegiant Stadium as the women’s intercontinental champion.
Lynch is now a seven-time women’s champion, three-time women’s intercontinental champion and two-time tag team champion.

Lee’s reign as champion ended really before it could really begin. WrestleMania 42 was her first appearance at the event in 11 years. It’s unclear where Lee will go from here.

Letters to Sports: Clippers were oh so close, yet so far
The Clippers’ season has come to an end but better than anyone expected. No consolation but a great job by head coach Tyronn Lue for guiding the Clippers from a disastrous 6-21 start and finishing with more than 40 wins.
Coach Lue led the team, overcoming major obstacles throughout the season with a player investigation, injuries, internal strife and major roster changes at the trade deadline. As usual for Clipper fans, wait till next year.

The Clippers are the NBA’s version of Stealers Wheel’s “Stuck in the Middle With You.” Yes, they have had 15 straight seasons of playing .500 or better, and owner Steve Ballmer has brought them respectability, but for their entire 56-year existence — which has contained many clowns and jokers — they still have never [attained] their goal of winning (or even reaching) the NBA Finals.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
LAS VEGAS – Paul Walter Hauser is an actor who has been in “The Naked Gun,” “Blackbird,” and “Richard Jewell.” But on Friday night at Maple Leaf Pro’s first U.S. event, MLP Multiverse, there was no acting going on.

It was a rematch of their brawl at Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor event. Marshall went on the attack first, throwing in all kinds of foreign objects into the ring, including a piece of wood wrapped with barbed wire, a table, a cane, chairs and even a door was brought into the match.
Hauser was able to regain momentum in the match. He set up the barbed-wire object in the corner. Marshall countered and was trying to whip Hauser into the barbed wire. However, Hauser stopped himself. As Marshall tried to take Hauser by surprise, the movie star avoided Marshall and tossed him into the barbed wire.
Marshall was busted open, but wasn’t done. Hauser was trying to inflict more pain. He set up a table near one corner of the ring and poured thumbtacks on top of it. Marshall was able to powerbomb Hauser through the tacked table.
