Washington Huskies basketball’s Kelsey Plum is the second-leading scorer in college basketball history, men’s and women’s. At 3,460 career points, she trails Pete Maravich by 208 points, and at 32 points per game this season, she might get there with a deep tournament.
Kelsey Plum was asked about her ‘tough’ shooting night, and her teammate’s reaction was incredible
Hahaha, their faces!
In her team’s opening round game, Plum did Plum things in a big 91-63 win over Montana State.
Yet a reporter asked her if “anything was going on” regarding her “tough” shooting night. Plum, her teammate, and her coach looked legitimately startled by the question:
Plum finished with 29 points on 10-of-20 shooting from the field and knocked down all eight free throws she took to lead all scorers.
She had to take a long pause and scratch her face while saying “that’s funny because...” before gaining composure to answer a question she wasn’t expecting to hear.
Chantel Osahor’s reaction was the best as she broke off from sipping water to give an ‘Are you kidding me’ kind of face. There was also a perfectly timed cough from someone else inside the media room.
You can watch the clip at the 5:20 mark here:
In fairness, the reporter did specifically ask about her outside shooting, and she was only 1-of-7 from three-point range after going 2-of-9 in the previous game.
But the reactions to the question were incredible and show the confidence of Plum and the respect her team has for her.
Plum is projected as a top-two pick in the WNBA draft.
