The Pursuit of Greatness: The 10 biggest and best shots of Kelsey Plum's storied career
SEATTLE — Kelsey Plum spent most of the 2016–17 season answering questions about if, and when, she would break the NCAA all-time scoring record in women’s college basketball, a number (3,393) set by Jackie Stiles in 2001. She did that on Feb. 25 but now, another record awaits: Plum has a shot at becoming the all-time scorer in college hoops, man or woman, if she can pass Pete Maravich, who totaled 3,667 points at LSU from 1967–70 (before the 3-point line existed). That’s just 270 points, a realistic goal for the 5’ 8" senior scorer who averages 31.6 points per game. It becomes more feasible if Washington, which opens Pac-12 conference tournament play Friday night in the quarterfinals, puts together another deep postseason run. In the meantime, here’s a look back at the best, and biggest, shots of Plum’s remarkable four-year career at Washington.
