SEATTLE—It was always a matter of when — not if — Washington would retire Kelsey Plum’s number. Eight years after she graduated, it happened.

At halftime of its game against Purdue on Saturday, Washington sent its first women’s jersey to the rafters, retiring the No. 10 that Plum wore for four years as she rewrote the school — and NCAA — record books.
