Did you see Caitlin Clark break the NCAA women's career scoring record last night? Me neither. I was going to watch but the game it was carried on Peacock, something that was promoted as being good for the streaming service.
Green Alert Take: It may have been good for Peacock but it was a complete shame for women's basketball that it was hidden behind a paywall. Maybe the casual fan would have tuned in and liked what he/she saw if the game were on one of the ESPN networks or Big Ten Network. But it was preaching to the choir for most women's basketball fans who signed up for Peacock to watch it.
For those of you who didn't see it, check out just how deep Clark was on the record shot:
Green Alert Take: Clark is huge fun to watch and she certainly has a flare. This is not in any way meant to diminish what she has accomplished, but before you compare her stats to those of Pete Maravich, remember that freshmen were not eligible in Pistol Pete's day. He scored his 3,667 points in 83 games. Clark has played in 126 games. She has made 487 three-pointers. Maravich? None because the three-point basket had not been introduced when he played For the record, Maravich averaged 44.2 points over his career.
