WNBA Star Kelsey Plum Adds Star Power to Washington in Clash Against Oregon Ducks

Finally, one of the most awaited games in college football has arrived as the Washington Huskies and the Oregon Ducks meet for the Pac-12 Championship game. As the Huskies prepare for their big game at Allegiant Stadium, fans and supporters from everywhere have come out to boost the players before the game. One of them is Washington’s very own star player, Kelsey Plum, who stole the spotlight on the field with her “dawg” hype. 

A senior guard at Washington women’s basketball, Kelsey Plum is an all-time NCAA scoring leader with 3,527 points. A record breaker for a single-season NCAA scoring record with 1,109 points in 2016-17, her presence at the Pac-12 Championship game is a huge boost to the Huskies’ confidence. See how the basketball star hypes Washington as they enter the championship game.

With Washington reaching the championship games unbeaten, they have drawn in the interest of their fellow college players who have made it to the game in Las Vegas to show their support. Just minutes before the game kickoff, WNBA star player Kelsey Plum gave a powerful hype to the Washington players as she yelled on camera, “Where my dawgs at! Let’s go!” And Washington’s “gotta lotta dawgs in the house!!!“

Kelsey Plum was a star college basketball player in Washington from 2013-17 before she was drafted as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 WNBA draft by the Las Vegas Aces. During her tenure there, she even helped her team earn a bid for the NCAA title but unfortunately it didn’t meet fruition.

This season, Washington emerged as one of the top college football programs with an undefeated record of 12-0. They lead 9-0 in the Pac-12. Meanwhile, the Ducks have an overall season record of 11-1 (8-1 in Pac-12) as they prepare to face their conference rival at the Pac-12 championship game.

Both the teams will be joining the Big Ten and the winner will not only win the conference title but also potentially clinch a spot for a playoff berth. 

Odds are in the Huskies’ favor as the teams enter the game with the support from their biggest icons and fans. But what will the future hold for them? Keep watching as the game unfolds!
