Her hot start begs the question: What's the NCAA Tournament record for points, and does Amoore have a chance to break it?
According to NCAA.com, Drake's Lorri Bauman scored 50 points in a 1982 tournament game against Maryland, the record for most points in a tournament game.
Liberty contained Amoore in the second half, limiting her to single digits.
Amoore is close to reaching the 3-point record with six 3-pointers. Iowa's Caitlin Clark (2024), Connecticut's Kia Nurse (2017) and Purdue's Courtney Moses (2012) hold the NCAA Tournament game record with nine.
