CAITLIN CLARK
There was something special coming. I knew it. You knew it. The sold-out crowd inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena knew it. Michigan knew it -- and still had no chance to stop it.
Like she's done with even the highest of expectations, Caitlin Clark didn't just break the women's NCAA career scoring record Thursday; she shattered it. No. 4 Iowa's superstar poured in a program-record 49 points in a 106-89 victory to zoom past Kelsey Plum's mark.
Clark, always one to put on a show, entered the night eight points shy of Plum's 3,527. It took her two minutes and 12 seconds to get there, as she scored the team's first eight points.
Fittingly, the record-breaker came on a 3-pointer from near the logo. It's that sort of shooting that has changed the sport forever, similar to another record-breaker, writes Jack Maloney.
Clark, of course, is far more than a great shooter or scorer. She is an offensive inferno. A master of the craft. A singular force. Her name is at or near the top of all sorts of records. She has changed basketball for good ... forever. Look at who took to social media to celebrate the accomplishment.
Even her opponents speak glowingly -- even admiringly -- of her, as Isabel Gonzalez learned in this wonderful feature.
The next record for Clark to chase down is most career points, men's or women's, in Division I history: 3,667 by Pete Maravich. Clark is sitting at 3,569 and trails that historic mark by only 98 points. I can't wait to see what she does to break that one, because if Thursday was any indication, it'll be unforgettable.
👍 Honorable mentions
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN
The day finally arrived. Superstar Kylian Mbappe told PSG he's leaving the club this summer, when his contract expires.
The departure was a long one coming. Mbappe, 25, had a verbal agreement to join Real Madrid in 2022 before reneging and extending his contract with Les Parisiens. With the 2024 Olympics and Euro 2024 looming this summer, one of the world's greatest players will likely be on the move.
Where will he go? There's a clear No. 1, writes Pardeep Cattry.
👎 Not so honorable mentions
Tiger Woods' first PGA Tour outing in 10 months featured moments of brilliance, signs of rust and, ultimately, ended up about how we should have expected. The 15-time major winner made five birdies and six bogeys en route to a 1-over 72 in the opening round of the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club outside Los Angeles. He's tied for 49th on the leaderboard, eight strokes behind first-round leader Patrick Cantlay.
Woods played the par 3s and par 5s in 5-under. He played the Par 4s in 6-over. A complete shank (the worst word golfers can hear) on 18 followed by a miraculous recovery was kind of the day in a nutshell. Today, Kyle Porter will be paying attention to the big stick.
Woods has to be in either the top 50 or within 10 shots of the leader to make the cut, so he has some work to do. Here's our full Round 1 recap as well as second-round tee times.
⚾ Rob Manfred to step down in 2029
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told reporters he will step down from his post when his current term ends in 2029.
Manfred, 65, has been commissioner since 2015 when he replaced Bud Selig. It hasn't exactly been a smooth ride, though some of the reasons have been out of his control.
Manfred is currently dealing with the Athletics' relocation, which has turned into an adventure, and he has plenty more to deal with, Dayn Perry notes.
🏀 How Cavaliers turned things around
NBA All-Star Weekend is upon us, and few teams -- if any -- will go into the break feeling better about themselves than the Cavaliers. Cleveland has won 18 of its last 20 games to surge to 36-17 on the season, second in the Eastern Conference.
It wasn't always this way. Last year, the Cavaliers got stuck in the mud in the playoffs against the Knicks, raising real questions about the team's core. Then they started this year 13-12, and Darius Garland and Evan Mobley got hurt, raising even more questions -- like if Donovan Mitchell should be traded.
But when things looked their most dire, the Cavaliers found an identity. James Herbert has the inside story.
This was an awesome story with awesome quotes. If you're missing the NBA over the next few days, I highly suggest you read it.
