Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2547544, member: 6927"] It was a 3-point game after 3Q but then Ohio State just ran away with it in the 4th. Kelsey Mitchell passed Rachel Banham to be the all-time Big Ten leading career scorer, with 3,098 points. She now needs 430 points to pass Kelsey Plum for the all-time NCAA record of 3,527. Mitchell, averaging 24.9 ppg heading into today's game, appears to be just slightly behind pace to catch Plum, It may come down to how many extra games she gets to play in the postseason. If OSU plays only 4 postseason games (losing in the Big 10 semifinals and the NCAA second round), she'd have to average almost 36 ppg to catch Plum — highly unlikely. But if OSU gets 7 postseason games (reaching the Big 10 final and the NCAA Elite 8), she'd need 28.7 ppg — a tall task but certainly not out of reach. [/QUOTE]
