Everyone wants to watch history, especially when it's in the form of college basketball's biggest star, Iowa Hawkeyes star Caitlin Clark. Now in her senior season with the program, Clark has been a dominant force from the moment she stepped foot onto the hardwood at the college level, both as a lethal-shooting scorer and as a playmaker for her team.

Now she's about to make that aforementioned history. After falling just seven points shy of becoming the all-time scoring leader in women's college basketball history in Iowa's previous game, she's set to lead the Hawkeyes against Michigan on Thursday, Feb. 15 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. And given that she averages 32.1 points per game this season, it's a fair conclusion that Thursday will be when she sets the all-time points record.
