Nobody understands "There's no place like home" any better than a Kansas girl does. Jackie Stiles grew up in tiny Claflin, Kansas, where you can pretty much drive through the city limits without blinking. But her college home was Springfield, Missouri, where she played for what was then called Southwest Missouri State. And it's there that Stiles had a truly magical night 16 years ago.
That was a Thursday -- March 1, 2001 -- and Stiles needed 20 points against Creighton to become the leading scorer in women's basketball history in the NCAA era, which began in 1981-82.
