Plum pours in 36, tops 3,000 points

-

Washington’s Kelsey Plum became the 12th player in women’s college basketball history to top 3,000 career points, but she didn’t seem to think it was that big of a deal.

“I mean, it’s an honor to be part of that list,” the senior guard said. “But I was really concerned about the win. You know, the Pac-12 is tough. Any given night anything can happen and this is not a game we wanted to give up.”

There wasn’t much chance of that.

Plum scored 36 points and the No. 8 Huskies (17-2, 5-1) rolled past host Arizona 90-73 on Friday.

“Everything we’ve ever asked her to do, she’s done it,” Washington coach Mike Neighbors said. “And she keeps improving.”

LaBrittney Jones scored 20 points for Arizona (10-6, 1-4). #17 UCLA 66, #10 Oregon State 56:

Jordin Canada had 18 points and 10 rebounds as the host Bruins (12-4, 3-2) snapped the Beavers’ 12-game winning streak. Down five after three quarters, UCLA outscored Oregon State 25-10 in the final period. Gabby Hanson led the Beavers (15-2, 4-1) with 13 points and Marie Gulich had 12 points and 11 rebounds. #19 Arizona State 68, Washington 49:

Sophie Brunner had 20 points and 15 rebounds to help the host Sun Devils (13-3, 4-1 Pac-12) win their fourth in a row. Chanelle Molina had 13 points to lead Washington State (8-9, 3-3), which got a scare when freshman Cameron Fernandez hit her head on the court after taking a charge. A school spokesman said Fernandez, who left the court on a stretcher, was admitted to a hospital as a precaution and is expected to make a full recovery. Oregon 59, USC 53:

Miramonte-Orinda alum Sabrina Ionescu scored two of her team-high 17 points on a putback with 1:05 left to put the Ducks ahead for good as Oregon (12-5, 2-3) defeated the host Trojans (10-6, 1-4). USC’s Sadie Edwards scored 17 of her 23 points before intermissi­on as her team built a 16-point halftime lead.
