Roundup: Kelsey Plum is NCAA's top dawg

I mean wow – Kelsey Plum scored 57 points on Saturday to become the NCAA all-time leading scorer, surpassing Jackie Stiles (Plum entered the game needing 55 to get past Stiles). The Huskies beat Utah 84-77, so the Dawgs needed every single one of those 57 points (that’s a Pac-12 single-game record, by the way).
