She has also notched two double-doubles and set new career-highs in assists, steals, 3-pointers made and free throws made. Currently, Buss ranks ninth in all-time scoring (1,572), second in free throws made (453), fourth in assists (393) fourth in free throw attempts (594) and fifth in steals (212).
She became the fastest player to score 1,000 points this season and set a new school record with 59 consecutive games in double figure scoring. In addition, she was a Naismith Preseason Top 50 watch list candidate and was one of 35 players eligible for the Wade Trophy.
