With 8:46 remaining in the third quarter of Wednesday’s IU women’s basketball contest at Penn State, senior guard Tyra Buss made Hoosier history.
Buss’ fast break layup, assisted by senior forward Amanda Cahill, gave her 1,918 career points. It was enough for her to break the IU women’s basketball program’s career scoring record set by Denise Jackson back in the 1983-84 season.
By the time the game ended, Buss had scored 27 points against Penn State, giving her 1,931 career points for IU.
