OKLAHOMA CITY — Kelsey Plum didn’t answer for 15 seconds.
Asked to reflect on her time at Washington, the Husky superstar choked up as the emotion hit her like a flash flood.
All the history she helped make there. All the memories she helped create. You could see those magic moments swirling in her head as she struggled to gather herself.
“I’ve really built a family here,” said Plum, whose team just suffered a 75-64 loss to Mississippi State in the Sweet 16. “It’s going to be difficult saying goodbye.”
For Seattle sports fans, the feeling is mutual.
