I'm glad they got this done while she was still the all time leading scorer.
That's well deserved.
That unvieling is the kind of thing ESPN should have covered. It's a big deal what she did.

| Good for Stiles and props to Missouri State and its donors. Stiles was a courageous player and leader, and was the avatar of "carrying a team on one's back." I have some regrets that Plum will break her record. |

I'd say Plum has been carrying her team as well.
It's basically a given that you have to be largely a one-woman show carrying your team in order to contend for career scoring record. Can't really happen if you're on a team with lots of talent and balanced scoring.

Nothing against Plum, who is fun to watch, but I was hoping Stiles would remain the all-time leader.
I saw Stiles play in person once, at RU, in the 2001 2nd round, the year she led SWMS to the FF. What a performance. She left the previous game, against Toledo, after running into a pick, then came back to score 32 vs RU on 8-16fg and 16-19 from the line. She took a beating all game long and she has a slight build. I left with great respect for her.
Stiles had less to work with, imo, than Plum.
