Caitlin Clark's upcoming last regular season home game against Ohio State is making headlines as the most expensive women's basketball ticket ever. The cheapest ticket available for entry is currently priced at around $550, drawing in eager Hawkeye fans who are keen to witness Clark's performance on senior day and potentially witness history being made.

Clark is on the verge of surpassing Pete Maravich's all-time college scoring record, needing just 18 points to achieve this feat. With an impressive average of over 32 points per game, it is anticipated that she will easily secure this milestone during the game.

In a recent announcement on Thursday, Clark revealed that this season will be her final one at Iowa as she prepares to enter the WNBA draft next month. Speculation regarding her future plans has been put to rest, with Clark expected to be the first overall pick by the Indiana Fever in the upcoming draft.

Clarifying her decision before the crucial game, Clark expressed the importance of having a clear path for herself, her fans, and her teammates. She emphasized the relief of shedding the burden of uncertainty and focusing on enjoying her remaining time with her teammates.

Clark's impact on women's college basketball has been significant, as evidenced by her participation in the most-watched women's college basketball games across six different networks. Her talent and achievements have undeniably elevated the profile of women's college basketball, solidifying her status as a standout player in the sport.
