I have had the pleasure of watching both play and Clark is good, but she is no where close to Pistol Pete.

Can you get any stoopider?
I get the troll, but there has to be at least a smidgin of truth in a troll.
Picture The Pistol playing against girls.
Picture her playing against men.
Don’t be so stoopid

I agree but the great irony here is that lsu fans are always bragging about girls college basketball when NOBODY else gives a shite. Looks like some good karma to me

I'd rather see Pistol play while having a 3pt line and Clark playing while not. Then where does the record fall?

It's time to kill this narrative. Pete Maravich was a volume chucker who was a detriment to his own team in college. He put up monstrous numbers on subpar efficiency. The name of the game in basketball is scoring more efficiently than your opponent. Maravich was not only less efficient than his opponents, his shooting % was vastly inferior to his own teammates. And he only got away with it because his dad was his coach and gave him the ultimate green light
FG% by year
67-68
Maravich .423
his teammates .520
LSU opponents .459
68-69
Maravich .444
his teammates .516
LSU opponents .451
69-70
Maravich .447
his teammates .515
LSU opponents .447

She will hold the record you are correct. For women’s basketball which is a tremendous accomplishment. Comparing men’s and women’s basketball is about the same as comparing Lebron’s 40,000 points to the all time touchdown record. Completely different sports.

Not even remotely true.
You would also have to take away all of Clark's points from the B1G tournaments, as those didn't exist. Also, any NCAA tournament games in years that Iowa wasn't the B1G champion, as only conference champions went to the NCAA tournament when Pete played.

Before you start yapping like a complete fricktard, why don't you go back and see how many assists he had to those teammates. Over 6 pg his senior year.

Because it's already factored into their shooting percentage. And either way his own shoooting percentage is worse than the opponents and he took >50% of LSU's FGA.
Let's just look at his first year and assume both teams attempt 50 FG aka offensive rebounding and turnovers are equal
Maravich attempted 52.8% of his teams shots
Maravich points scored .529 * 50 * 2 points per made shot * .423(shooting perecentage)= 22.38 points
Rest of LSU (1-.529) * 50 * 2 * .523 = 24.63 points
total LSU points = 22.38 + 24.63 = 47.01 points
If Maravich had attempted all 50 by himself = 50*2*.423 = 42.3 points
Opponents 50 * 2 * .459 = 45.9 points
If a player is shooting lower than the opponent by percentage, on average every shot he takes is a net loss for his own team
Maravich took over 50% of their shots. And the guy only averaged 5 assists per game for his career

I just figured it out, kid. Some of us in this thread actually watched him play. Others only have read about him.

Funny how such Hall of Fame NBA players continue to sing Pete's praises & why he was voted into the Top 50 players in NBA history. Bob Cousey, James Worthy, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dominique Wilkens, Karl Malone, Jery West, Elgin Baylor, Kevin McHale, etc etc etc have all told stories about Pete's greatness. Former HOF coaches, Rupp, Auerbach, Tommy Heinson, Phil Jackson, etc etc etc have all raved about him. And there is you. As for the records themselves, the NCAA has come out & said they keep 2 sets of records, those relating to female players & those relating to male players. "There is no one record for both sexes".

Nice response thread

I never said Maravich wasn't skilled, he is one of the most skilled basketball players in history(particularly relative to his era). But his style of play at LSU wasn't conducive to winning basketball. I'm assuming his dad decided to give him free reign in preparation for the NBA/ABA and the LSU AD went with it as he put LSU basketball on the map and made the program a ton of revenue. But from a pure basketball standpoint, he should have never been attempting 35+ FG on sub 45% shooting with teammates shooting >50%. That's bad basketball
