VIDEO: Jack Taylor from Grinnell College scored an NCAA record 138 points in a game last week (In Game Highlights). Yea, he took over 100 shots and there are rumors that the coach and other players were trying to help him get the record and it was a Division III NCAA game... but still... it's 138 points in regulation. The ball still has to go through the hoop... and he faced double teams and triple teams... #Respect
Jack Taylor's 138 Point Historic Box-Score Looks Funny
Did Jack Taylor make himself a legend in college basketball? 138 points in 36 minutes is a very impressive feat. It’s the most points any collegiate player has ever scored; demolishing a record that was set 62 years ago by 25 points.
The box-score on this game looks crazy. If somebody disagrees with me, yell at me on twitter and tell me why you think this box-score is normal. I'm not going to make my readers pick through a picture of a box-score or anything, but give you the facts of it and a link for you to see for yourself. (I also skimmed through the play-by-play)
My Top Five Favorites
5. Jack Taylor missed his first five 3-point shots of game, en route to missing 44 overall. He went 27-71 from the three point line.
3. Tyler Betz and Eric Young of Faith Baptist Bible combined for 31 turnovers.
2. David Larson, on Faith Baptist Bible, scored a team high 70 points in the loss, on an extremely efficient 34-44 shooting from the field. He had no three’s, only two free throws made, and played all 40 minutes in this game.
1. Even with a combined 283 points for both teams, only three players were in double digits in scoring. Jack Taylor with 138, his teammate off the bench Aaron Levin with 13, and David Larson of Faith Baptist with 70.
Honorable mention: Jack Taylor dropped 58 points by half-time, which means he had 80 second half points.
You can dig through it yourself and find a lot more randomness in there if you like.
