Sunday may not just be “super” for the Chiefs and 49ers, who meet in Super Bowl 58. It could be the day Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark breaks the NCAA women’s basketball scoring record.Clark needs 66 points to break the NCAA career record of 3,527 by Washington’s Kelsey Plum (2013-17). The Hawkeyes play Penn State at home on Thursday. With an average of 32.4 points per game, Clark is on track to break the record at Nebraska on Sunday or Feb. 15 at home against Michigan.While most of his focus is on the 49ers, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes knew Clark was approaching the record when he was asked about her at a Super Bowl news conference Tuesday.”I think she’s close to breaking it — maybe on Super Bowl Sunday, so I don’t know if I’ll get to see it,” he said. “You can tell she loves the game. She loves playing at Iowa. … She’s one of the best college basketball players to ever play. (She will) go to the WNBA and dominate there, as well. Hopefully I never have to play her 1-on-1 because she’ll for sure be getting buckets on me.”More Super Bowl coverage:Super Bowl Opening Night: Brock Purdy on his journey, Taylor Swift and moreIowa connections on 49ers run deep: Former Hawkeye tight end George Kittle is a star in San FranciscoWATCH ON KCCI: 49ers vs. Chiefs in Super Bowl 58Clark, a lifelong Chiefs fan, and Mahomes are both spokespeople for State Farm and have connected on social media before.
