My dream is to be part of a strong and competitive women's basketball team. Are there any college women's basketball programs known for their players' high scoring careers? Most career points is an indicator I'm thinking about.
Absolutely, let's talk about some notable NCAA women's basketball programs that are known for high-scoring careers.
1. University of Connecticut (UConn) - They are one of the giants of NCAA women's basketball, with many players who've produced remarkable career numbers. Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart, who both scored over 3,000 points in their college careers, standout as high-scoring Huskies.
2. Baylor University - Baylor's Women’s basketball program is another with a storied history of producing high-scoring players. Brittney Griner is a prime example who scored 3,283 points in her career at Baylor.
3. University of South Carolina - In recent years USC's program has surged, in part due to high-scoring talent like A'Ja Wilson, who scored over 2,000 points in her college career.
4. Stanford University - It's also a program of note in this regard, and is the alma mater of all-time college women's basketball leading scorer, Kelsey Plum (although she transferred and scored most of her points at the University of Washington).
Of course, note that these programs also attract top talent because of their coaching staff, team culture, and history of success. It would be beneficial to consider these factors, alongside scoring records, when deciding on a program.
