Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark will leave women’s college basketball without a national championship after the Hawkeyes succumbed to unbeaten Dawn Staley and South Carolina in Sunday’s NCAA Tournament finale, leaving many questioning her legacy and ranking among the sport’s all-time greats. Where should Clark be slotted amongst the top 10 players of all-time?
That’s up for debate and much of that depends on the level of weight placed on titles, individual accolades or overall impact on the sports. Staley acknowledged Clark’s greatness after the title game, the Gamecocks coach calling her “one of the GOATs” before complimenting her own team’s accomplishments.
Clark joins the pantheon of greats who have played the women’s game alongside several stars from powerhouse programs like UConn, Tennessee and others. How difficult was it to form this top 10 list? Former Washington star Kelsey Plum, who ranks second all-time with 3,527 career points, didn’t find a spot inside the top 10.
