    You're probably right. Coaching this team might not help matters much either. lol

    Shot so much and often they couldn't even keep track.

    Will the Hoyas step up? I'd like to actually see this game conclude...
    The circumstances of the Nov. 9 game have now obviously entirely changed. Essentially, both teams have been in the longest half-time ever. I agree that I would like to see this game happen, and was very upset when it was called off as it is one I had been really looking forward to, but they need to replay the entire game. Not just 20 minutes. That's my take, at least.

    Let us break this bad boy down. Taylor was 52-101 from the field, including 27-71 from downtown. He chipped 7-10 from the free throw line to give him his 138 points. That is so out of this world that I have no idea how to react. That point total is simply obscene.[LEFT]Read more at http://www.rantsports.com/clubhouse/2012/11/20/grinnells-jack-taylor-sets-division-iii-record-with-138-points-against-faith-baptist/?dZKtt1Lubyu9MeJk.99

    He's coming to Duke in the year 3000. Or whenever Coach K leaves. I've been planning this since April 5, 2010. So your point is void. :)

    K is never leaving Duke. He's undead, or just pure evil, so he will live forever. :)

    On a more serious note, Stevens should definitely hold out for a job at one of the top programs. The guy is easily one of the best coaches in the country and he runs a great program, on and off the court. Programs like Carolina, Duke, and UK will be in need of a coach sooner than later, so he should have his opportunity, I would think.

    Bevo Francis (Rio Grande College) scored 113 in 1954 going 38/70 from the field and 37/42 from the free throw line.

    43 at half
    74 thru 3

    ....quadruple-teamed in the 4th but somehow scored 39

    Record took place at Jackson High School....currently the middle school auditorium. Same backboards and 1 of the rims still there.

    Also had a 116 point game but NCAA took it away due to being a junior college.

    The only thing impressive about that stat is the number of shots he managed to chuck. Also everything I read said 52/108.

    Lol. If K really is a vampire, that's a pretty serious note I would say.

    As for Stevens, I think you've hit it right on the head, iron. He is just biding his time. While I am sure he loves Butler, and he says that it's the perfect place for him and his family -- an intimate private school with historical basketball relevance in a big city that upholds the traditions and values of small town America -- Stevens will only remain happy there so long as the jobs at Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Indiana and Kentucky are not vacant. Once one of those prestigious positions opens, his career in Indianapolis will disappear quicker than Mike Vanderjagt.

    If I had to wager a guess, I'd say that IU is his dream. But I don't really know for sure. And Tom Crean, unless he bolts for the NBA, will be there for quite awhile longer than Roy Williams or Coach K will in Chapel Hill and Durham.

    Taylor scored his 100th point with a little more than eight minutes remaining while teammate Griffin Lentsch -- who scored a then-Division-III-record 89 points 366 days ago -- finished with just seven. Meantime, Faith Baptist's David Larson scored 70. That's not bad. But it's not 138, either.
    That would've been hilarious to watch. But man, that has to be awful basketball.

    Surprisingly, he had no assists.

    Let's also break down Grinnell's record books. This is Pioneer coach David Arsenault's system philosophy, in numbers, folks:

    Single Game Scoring
    1. Jack Taylor - 138
    2. Griffin Lentsch - 89
    3. Jeff Clement - 79
    4. Steve Diekmann - 69
    5. Steve Diekmann - 60
    6. Steve Diekmann - 60
    7. Ed Brands - 59
    8. Steve Diekmann - 56

    So Steve Diekman could score.

    Three-Point Field Goals Made Single Game
    1. Jack Taylor - 27
    2. Jeff Clement - 19
    3. Jeff Clement - 16
    4. Griffin Lentsch - 15
    5. Steve Diekmann - 14
    6. Steve Diekmann - 14
    7. Ed Brands - 14

    So Steve Diekmann could also shoot.

    Three-Pointers Attempted Single Game
    1. Jack Taylor - 71
    2. Jeff Clement - 52
    3. Griffin Lentsch - 33
    4. John Grotberg - 31
    5. Steve Diekmann - 30

    Grinnell Team Points Per Game Through the Years
    1994 - 109.4
    1995 - 115.3
    1996 - 103.5
    1997 - 102.5
    1998 - 110.6
    1999 - 114.0
    2000 - 103.6
    2001 - 118.2
    2002 - 124.9
    2003 - 124.8
    2004 - 126.8

    And Grinnell has NOTHING on the scoring that Dan Maestri's teams have done at Troy University in Alabama. Troy once scored an NCAA all-division record 252 points in one game, hitting 52 threes as a team.

    That's amazing basketball and if you were in the gym tonight it would have been exciting as hell.

    As I said before, Grinnell is Loyola Marymount on human growth hormone. They are the best show on court.

    Mr. Know it All Vitale just called it Ree-o Grande......it's RYE-o grande.
  • sportswizuhrd
    While at work, I came across a site after googling Grinnell that had the entire game but now I can't find it now that I am home. I'll keep looking...

    Lol. I've seen them play, and it's not good basketball at all. Nor is it all that exciting. I've seen better at D4 high school games. Tonight the other team had 49 turnovers, and Grinnell's press was weak at best. I don't think I'm anything special at basketball, but I guarantee I could put up 100+ points on 100 shots. The only impressive stat was attempted shots.

    lol wtffffff

    That's insane(ly awful basketball)
  • Midstate01

    Ok so I'm an idiot and watched the first 10 minutes then the whole 2nd half. Here's my thoughts
    1) he has a nice crossover and can obviously shoot. Congrats to him

    That's literally the last good thing ill say
    1) he never ever ever passes. In the first half he'd have two teammates under the basket alone and would go by them for a layup.
    2). Didn't pay attention in the first half till about the end, so I counted in the 2nd half. He didn't cross half court once, not ONCE. Even when the other team attempted free throws he stood down by the basket
    3) they openly give the opposing team a wide open lay up every time. They don't attempt to play d. Literally they just stand and wait for the ball to go in.
    4) this other kids on the team look like they are made to pass it to him. It's like playing FIFA and this kid hits the forced pass to himself button every time
    5) they were up like a million points, yet they left him in. At first I was like well, it's just d3. But they literally have like 25 guys on the bench. Play them..

    Lastly, I'm not really that good at basketball and I 100% guarantee I could score 50 on the team they played.
    Remember that story about the handicapped kid who came in and made it rain from 3? He'd be the best player on the team they just played.

    I can't believe I just watched that shit.
  • GOONx19
    ^ Nope you guys, Loyola Marymount on HGH.
  • Iliketurtles
    The best thing to come out of this were Melo's and Durants comments about it.

    Melo- He joked that from now on when someone asks if he's taking too many shots, he'll mention "that someone shot it 108 times."
    Durant tweeted- "Jack Taylor you deserve a shot of Jack Daniels after that performance lol...wow"

    I really loved Durants since it seems like Grinnell is a Christian college.
  • WebFire
    I only watched about 2 minutes. That was a disgrace to college basketball.
  • reclegend22
    My “greatest show on court” comment now seems like a gross exaggeration after watching that. Lol. Especially since it would appear as if Grinnell plays primarily against one-room schoolhouses. That’s really the first time I have ever seen them in action, doing “their thing,” even though I am very familiar with the program. Hey, they’re not on CBS very often.

    However, I stick to my original thought that David Arsenault (Grinnell's coach) is Paul Westhead on steroids. He is.

    That's the kind of frenetic, press all over the place, shoot a three-pointer every five seconds offense he employs. His teams have consistently averaged more than 120 points per game for over a decade and have led the nation in scoring for all divisions 15 of the past 17 years. And Arsenault is able to get his teams to play that way because he shifts his players in and out of the game in five-man hockey-style waves, each wave of players never playing more than two minutes at a time, which ensures fresh legs for Grinnell’s players while those on the opposition wilt. Grinnell also has what it calls “primary shooters,” three-point gunners who the team focuses on constantly feeding the ball and who often times will be told to not venture across half-court on defense and instead stay back for a quick cherry pick three. Whether or not it is good basketball is not the point. That’s not what Grinnell is about. They don’t play hoops. They play pinball.

    This is what I think of the 138 point performance.
