Caitlin Clark now holds the NCAA women’s basketball scoring record. (Yahoo Sports/Bruno Rouby) Caitlin Clark grew up watching the most prolific scorers in Division I women’s college basketball and now her name sits above them. The Iowa superstar broke the all-time scoring record on Thursday. She passed former record-holder Kelsey Plum, who poured in 3,527 career points over 139 games at Washington from 2013-17. “The coolest thing is just the names I get to be around,” Clark, 22, said when… Source link

Friday’s single-game Yahoo slate kicks off with a quarter-finals matchup between Croatia and heavily-favored Brazil (70 percent to win). The implied goal total sits at nearly three goals, so bettors expect considerable scoring action in most cases. Although the ultimate outcomes were the same, these teams experienced very different match styles during Monday’s Round of 16 games. While Brazil should be well-rested after dispatching South Korea by a score of 4-1, Croatia could conceivably… Source link

Tuesday’s single-game late slate is the last of the Round of 16 matches, with Spain taking on Morocco. Spain are heavy 61 percent favorites with 1.70 implied goals in what is expected to be a one-sided match. Still, Morocco have some interesting pieces and the implied total for the match sits below 2.50. CASH GAME STRATEGY I feel like it’s hard to start anywhere other than Dani Olmo ($28), he isn’t even the highest-salary player on the slate and he has a rock-solid floor. Olmo has consistently… Source link

Team USA are in the knockout stage as heavy underdogs against Netherlands, who are back in the Round of 16 after failing to even qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

Turning to the books, oddsmakers see the match as almost a dead heat with Belgium ever-so-slightly favored at 35.6-percent to win. The implied goal total is just… Source link

Read More »Single-Game Preview for Iran vs. USA
Tuesday’s match is a do-or-die for both teams with the USA needing all three points against Iran, while a draw would be enough to see the Iranians through to the knockout stage. It’s possible Iran come out extremely defensively and play for that draw right from the opening kick, which could change the flow of the game and pump up the US players who will be desperate to get forward. The US are favorites in the match though albeit with a win percentage still below 50. CASH GAME STRATEGY Cash… Source link
