UW coach Mike Neighbors on Kelsey Plum’s 57 points: ‘We needed every one of those baskets’

Kelsey Plum carried No. 11 Washington to an 84-77 victory against Utah on Saturday with a career-high 57 points while surpassing Jackie Stiles for the top spot on the NCAA all-time scoring list.

“We needed every one of those baskets,” coach Mike Neighbors said. “Some nights we don’t need 57 points. Some nights we need Kelsey’s leadership. Other nights we might her passing or rebounding, or a defensive stop.”
