The Roundup
In this week’s roundup, I wanted to list a number of career milestones to keep an eye on as the regular season nears its end. Some of these players are household names, but others you may not have heard of.
Sabrina Ionescu, Oregon—21 points away from 2,500 points, would be the 31st player with 2,500 points and 1,000 rebounds.
Lauren Manis, Holy Cross—24 points away from 2,000 points and 2,000 points/1,000 rebounds club.
Sara Rhine, Drake—28 rebounds away from 1,000 rebounds and joining 2,000 points/1,000 rebounds club.
Rachael Childress, UAB—4 three-pointers away from fifth all-time in career makes.
Taylor Robertson, Oklahoma—6 three-pointers away from fifth-highest single-season total.
Stephanie Karcz, Loyola Maryland—10 steals from entering the top 10 all-time.
