LEXINGTON, Ky. -- As Washington players made their way onto the dais for a press conference after a Sweet 16 game against Kentucky, it quickly became evident that the placard bearing Kelsey Plum's name had gone missing. The ensuing search stretched from momentary to awkward, Plum standing off to one side while everyone around her was seated.
In an effort to help, or at least speed things along and get a laugh, Washington's Chantel Osahor leaned into a microphone and, in her best emcee impersonation, intoned "Ladies and gentleman, Kelsey Plum."
Yet the All-American who ranks fourth in the nation in scoring wasn't the one who really needed an introduction.
