Caitlin Clark needed 18 points vs. No. 2 Ohio State on Sunday to break Pete Maravich's career scoring mark.
The Iowa star proceeded to drop 35 points in a 93-83 win to become the new record holder for the most points scored all-time in D1 college basketball.
Nike, who signed Clark to an NIL deal in 2022, acknowledged Clark's historic accomplishment accordingly.
Using the slogan "This was never a long shot," Nike put up two separate billboards in Iowa City that, from a certain angle, showed Clark shooting a bucket.

Clark, who turned 22 in January, announced a few days prior to facing Ohio State that she will enter the 2024 WNBA Draft, forgoing her fifth year of NCAA eligibility.
