SEATTLE -- Kelsey Plum was dreading the extra attention that was accompanying her quest for the Pac-12 career scoring record.Plum put together a performance on Sunday worthy of the extra attention.Im just glad its over and we can move on, Plum said.Plum matched her season-high with 44 points and became the Pac-12s career scoring leader in No. 11 Washingtons 92-66 win over Boise State on Sunday.Plum entered the day needing 23 points to surpass the mark of Stanfords Chiney Ogwumike, who finished her career in 2014 with 2,737 points. Plum nearly accomplished the record in the first half, scoring 22 points before the break. Plum hit back-to-back 3-pointers to push the Huskies lead to 19 and then made two free throws with 34 seconds left to tie the mark.After missing her first two shots of the second half, Plum made a pair of free throws with 8:38 left in the third quarter to set the new mark. The record was not acknowledged until after the game and she finished one off her career high of 45 set as a sophomore against Oklahoma.Plum would have preferred the record not to be acknowledged at all. Or the likely attention that will come from her quest for 3,000 points or even the NCAA career scoring record as the season progresses.I wish at times I wish we could focus on more important things. I know its part of the process and part of what comes with the territory, Plum said. But for me as a basketball player it doesnt make it fun. To be honest I was a little dreading this game. Im glad that it worked out the way it did.Plum, the national scoring leader, finished 15 of 26 shooting and added nine rebounds. She had five 3s to give her 265, tying the school career record. Plum individually outscored five teams on Sunday.Washington (10-1) won its seventh straight despite getting just six minutes out of Chantel Osahor, who left early in the game with an apparent head injury. Washington coach Mike Neighbors didnt have details about Osahors injury.Marijke Vanderschaaf led Boise State (8-1) with 16 points. The Broncos were off to their best start in 41 years. Boise States 8-0 start was tied for third longest in school history to begin a season. DeAnthony Thomas Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. Cory Ross Jersey .

DENVER -- Kansas State found strength in numbers.D.J. Johnson had 19 points to lead six Wildcats scoring in double figures, and Kansas State pulled away in the second half to beat Colorado State 89-70 Saturday.Barry Brown had 14 points and Xavier Sneed added 12 for Kansas State (10-1), which won its fifth in a row since its loss to Maryland on Nov. 26.Johnson, who fouled out with just under two minutes remaining, also had 10 rebounds for his third career double-double.You get six guys in double figures, assists to turnovers of 17 to 9, and our rebounding was a huge thing, said Kansas State coach Bruce Weber. We got some timely offensive rebounds and a great start to the second half that broke their spirits.Prentiss Nixon had 30 points to lead Colorado State (8-3).Up by seven at the break, Kansas State stretched its lead 58-41 with a 14-4 run to open the second half. The surge featured two 3-pointers by Kamau Stokes and Johnson rim-rattling, one-handed dunk off an offensive rebound.By the time Johnson converted a 3-point play with 9:33 left, the Wildcats were up by 20 points, and the Rams could make little headway the rest of the way.I feel we have not peaked, but I feel we are in a good place, Brown said. We got a lot of guys involved. A lot of guys in double figures. The bench really picked us up and gave us a lot of energy in the first half and we carried it over to the second half.Nixon said a lackluster defensive effort was at thhe center of the Rams double-digit loss.ddddddddddddWe werent guarding anybody, Nixon said. They were getting open looks. We played terribly.Kansas State led 44-37 at halftime, using a 9-0 run to surge in front after Nixons 3-pointer had pulled the Rams to within a point.Brown capped the burst by converting a 3-point play.BIG PICTUREKansas State: A Wildcats strength this season has been their balanced scoring and it was once again on display in their latest victory. The game marked the eighth time this season that at least four Wildcats had scored in double figures.Colorado State: Nixon led all scorers with his 30-point game but it wasnt enough to keep up against the diversified offensive display by the Wildcats. The Rams were hurt by turnovers (14) and defensive breakdowns that saw Colorado State allow a season high in points.ONGOING UPSIDETheir strong start notwithstanding, Johnson said he continues to see an upside for the Wildcats. I think we played well as we have, he said. I thought our defense lagged a little bit in the first half. There is always room for improvement.UP NEXTKansas State: Rounds out its non-conference schedule by hosting Gardner-Webb on Wednesday night.Colorado State: Finishes a five-game home stand by returning to Moby Arena on the Fort Collins campus and hosting Loyola Marymount.
