LAS VEGAS —Sunday may not just be “super” for the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Fransisco 49ers, who will meet in Super Bowl 58.

It could be the day Iowa basketball 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 on Feb. 15 at home against Michigan.

While most of his focus is on the 49ers, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes knew Clark was approaching the record when he was asked about her at a Super Bowl news conference on 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.”

Clark, a lifelong Chiefs fan, and Mahomes are both spokespeople for State Farm and have connected on social media before.

Last February, after Clark hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to beat Indiana, Mahomes tagged her in a post saying, “Dawg!!!” Clark quoted the post, saying “My boyyy” with three goat emojis.
