University of Iowa basketball sensation Caitlin Clark is on the verge of making history as she aims to surpass Pete Maravich's NCAA all-time scoring record of 3,667 points. With just 18 points needed in today's game against Ohio State, Clark, who is averaging an impressive 32 points per game this season, is more than capable of achieving this milestone.

Excitement is at an all-time high as the average ticket price for the game is a staggering $571, making it the most expensive ticket for any women's basketball game ever, whether college or professional, according to TickPick. This game holds even more significance as it is senior day in Iowa City, marking Clark's final regular season game in front of her home fans.

Expressing her gratitude for the overwhelming support, Clark stated, 'I'm very lucky to be in this position and for people to be so invested in what I'm gonna do and a fan base that cares so much about it. And obviously I'm very thankful for the support.' She added, 'My main goal is beating Ohio State. I think we're all just super excited for another opportunity at them. Obviously my focus is here. You know, my goal is to win a national title. That's plain and simple. That's what I wanna do.'

As Clark gears up for this crucial game, the anticipation among fans and supporters is palpable. With her sights set on rewriting the record books and leading her team to victory against the formidable Ohio State, all eyes will be on the court as she aims to etch her name in NCAA history.
