After watching the replay, I believe this is the "music" that Bluder is talking about. It appears that this was played on the speakers after CC missed a free throw.

Good point by Keith Murphy: Plum should not be considered the current record-holder -- Lynette Woodard should. She shouldn't be penalized just because the NCAA refused to sponsor women's athletics until the early 80s. Clark will pass Woodard this season (barring injury) and that is the greater accomplishment.
And if we want to get super pedantic about it, the women's college record-holder is actually Pearl Moore.
3,884 - Moore
3,649 - Woodard
3,527 - Plum
Which includes a semester of JC ball (177) on top of the 4 seasons she was at Francis Marion (3,884).
The lower figure should be correct.
Back in January, I found this site as the Hawkeye player was starting to threaten the records.
Pearl Moore - Hall of Fame Basketball Player
Pearl Moore remains the greatest scorer in the history of women's college basketball. Starring at Francis Marion College, her 4,061 points is a record that has stood for decades.

The distinction is not made strongly there.

The 3,884 is the figure that appears in the NCAA record book (in the AIAW section).
The school lists 4,061, but at least mentions how she got to that number. As with many women's sports pre-1983, things like record-keeping were pretty loose.
Moore started her collegiate career at Anderson Junior College in the fall of 1975. After one semester at Anderson (eight games and 177 points), she transferred to Francis Marion. Fortunately, the Patriots did not open their cage season until after the first of the year, and thus Moore played the entire 1975-76 Francis Marion schedule. At that time under Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) rules, a player could transfer and be eligible immediately. The 5-7 guard-forward went on to score 3,884 points in a Patriot uniform. Her career point total includes the points scored at Anderson, because at that time in women's basketball, two- and four-year schools regularly competed against each other and all results counted.
That's a good point, although she played at a lower level of AIAW basketball. Woodard played in what is equivalent to Div I so she's the major college scoring champion.
Also, as far as I'm concerned, being super pedantic is the whole point of this message board.

In which case, someone should tell Hawk fans that CC isn't even the highest-scoring Iowan in women's college basketball.
Rock Valley native Deb Remmerde scored 3,854 points for Northwestern (Iowa).
That was the only foul called on the other team . . . the entire game. Trinity had 41 turnovers and only 26 FG attempts.
AIAW didn't have levels. It was one level (with more than 1000 teams). Sure Pearl played against smaller schools since she was at a smaller school, but as for competing for post-season, etc. it was all together in one level.That's a good point, although she played at a lower level of AIAW basketball.

Looking closer, they played the same school (Washington Trinity) earlier and "only" won 56-37, BUT the Trinity roster is completely different between the two games. The second game only has 5 players, none of who were in the first game. I wonder if the entire team quit/dismissed/something and the second set of 5 were just five girls on campus who agreed to be the team. If you watch the video, I don't think any of them even played high school ball by the looks of it.
Deb accepted an offer to play hoops at the University of Iowa.
But, after a semester in Iowa City, she transferred to play for Northwestern College in Orange City.
That's correct. In the early days of the AIAW one of the top teams in the country was William Penn at Oskaloosa.
Where Bill Fennelly was an assistant coach . . . .
My cousins from Indiana used to go to Penn basketball camps when he was there. One almost committed to Fresno when he left WP.
Pearl played at Francis Marion College, named after a Rev. War Patriot nicknamed the Swamp Fox. Please tell me the teams are called Swamp Foxes! The Mel Gibson character in The Patriot was loosely based on Francis Marion.
