The matchup between Clark's Iowa and last year's champion LSU drew a record TV audience of 12.3 million on average in the US. Clark scored 41 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and dished out 12 assists on the way to a 94-87 victory.

"That's the women's Steph Curry. She can shoot it better than me," Doncic told reporters after the Iowa-LSU game on Tuesday.

Earlier in the season, Clark set a new NCAA all-time scoring record, surpassing the legendary Pete Maravich. This Monday against LSU, Clark also became the all-time leader in three-pointers made in women's Division I.

Clark's performance against LSU became an internet sensation after a series of episodes involving LSU's Hailey van Lith, who at one point threw up her arms in the air, having no answer for Clark's scoring prowess.

Clark has since received a $5 million offer from Ice Cube to play in the BIG3, significantly surpassing the average salary in the WNBA.
