Draft Prospect Kelsey Mitchell Becomes Big Ten All-Time Leading Scorer

Justin Lester

Ohio State senior guard Kelsey Mitchell broke yet another record on Saturday, passing Connecticut Sun guard Rachel Banham to become the Big Ten’s all-time leading scorer, male or female.

After dropping 23 points in a win over Michigan State, Mitchell has now amassed 3,098 points in her four years at OSU. Banham scored 3,093 points during her career at Minnesota.

Mitchell is also the NCAA’s all-time leader in three-pointers, a record she set earlier in the week. The two-time Big Ten Player of the Year has drained more than 400 in her career.

With 3,098 points, Mitchell ranks No. 6 among the NCAA’s all-time leading scorers. Fellow lefty Kelsey Plum, last year’s No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, is at the top of the list with 3,527. While that number is likely out of reach for Mitchell, she’s just 185 points from passing Brittney Griner, who is No. 3 all time with 3,283. Jackie Stiles is No. 2 with 3,393.
