Kelsey Plum is no stranger to big-time scoring nights, but her 57 points against
Utah on Saturday night left an indelible mark on what has become a storybook
career.
Late in the contest Plum hit a floater in the lane, like she has so many times
before, giving her 55 for the game and breaking Jackie Stiles’ record for most
career points in NCAA women’s basketball history in the process. After the dust
settled, Plum’s 57 total points brought her career tally to 3,397, only Pete
Maravich with 3,667 has more on the men’s side.
The basketball world was watching, and more importantly appreciating the
greatness of Plum on Saturday. Numerous icons, coaches, and legends reached out
to her on social media to recognize her feat. Here are some of the best:
