Kelsey Plum had a good laugh over her clearly way-too-soon Caitlin Clark scoring record tweet

Everyone, including Kelsey Plum, is anxious about Caitlin Clark breaking the NCAA scoring record. Plum is so excited for Caitlin that she accidentally tweeted her congratulations too soon.

On Sunday, Caitlin Clark was only 39 points away from breaking Kelsey Plum’s NCAA Division I women’s basketball scoring record. Naturally, many people thought Clark might break the record against Nebraska. She was 8-0 in her career against the Cornhuskers and had never finished with less than 30 points when playing against them. That all changed Sunday with some stellar defense from Nebraska (Clark finished with 31 points but was held scoreless in the fourth) and a colossal shot by Jaz Shelley to upset Iowa and steal the show away from Clark.

However, Kelsey Plum might not have gotten the memo that Clark didn’t break her record because a scheduled congratulatory tweet went out anyway.

@CaitlinClark22 Congratulations on the record, and really your entire season! I appreciate what you do for the game, much respect and love! See you at the next level, hopefully sooner than later

Plum later realized the error and apologized for it while seemingly laughing at the flub.

My bad next game https://t.co/waUVTzGfWr
