Moriah Jefferson actually texted me. She wished me good luck before the game and she congratulated me on the assists record and told me, ‘You deserve it,’ even before I got it,” Mühl said. “Just to get that message, I don't even know. I mean, she's one of the players that I was always looking up to playing here.”
....
“I was just not expecting that message. I was so focused on the game,” Mühl said. “So seeing that, it really motivated me even more.”
Entering Monday’s contest, the big question was about who’d get the basket to get Mühl the record-breaking assist. Her fifth, 500th and 600th all went to Aaliyah Edwards, though Paige Bueckers made it clear she wanted it. Bueckers scored to tie Mühl with Jefferson but it wouldn’t be a classmate that put her on top.
Instead, it was a freshman in Shade.
“They were fighting a little bit about who's gonna get it. I didn't necessarily try to get it to anybody. I was like, ‘Whoever gets it, gets it,’” Mühl explained. “But Ashlynn, she's just unapologetically like that. She's just took it from them. That's why we love her. That's what she's so good.”
Well, we were so far ahead of Syracuse that Ashlynn could have passed up the shot and waited for Paige to get it, right?
