So the small Iowa college kid scores 138, but IMHO these games are even more ridiculous when looking at advanced stats/four factors.

Total   Pace   PPP   eFG%   TO%   OR%   FTR
Grinnell   122   1.46   61.0%   13.9%   52.9%   11.8%
F Bap   122   0.85   61.0%   40.1%   35.3%   9.8%

And for reference, Grinnell's season Adv Stats from last season (they went 18-5):

Total   Pace   PPP   eFG%   TO%   OR%   FTR
Grinnell   93   1.19   53.9%   16.0%   36.9%   31.1%
Oppon   93   1.06   60.2%   29.1%   41.1%   51.4%

The craziest stat is that opponents don't shoot 3s against them (because they are shooting tons of lay-ups). They shot 1227 last year, opponents shot 173. In this game they shot 80, the opponent shot 6.

If I went to, or coached at, some small college like this I would love it. Why not?

don't ask bart ray gun what he thinks about this kid and his 138 points. The ray gun is old school and believes that assists are important.

Add this coach to the coaching search master thread immediately

I enjoyed Ebonie Williams talking trash on the kid via twitter

The point total is amazing, but the truly baffling part is the how.

I mean, I bet the kid stood at his fav three spot and literally never moved. His team went and played D, then bombed the pass to him cherry pick style and he immediately shot a three, rinse and repeat 78 times.

I mean, how do you even have time in a normal game to create and then take 108 shots?

It would be one thing if they had some monster full court press and the other team never got past half court so the game was a bunch of steals/shots, which would be amazing in it's self, but that isn't what happened. They other team had a kid who got 70pts that game.

The how of all this is just baffling to me.

The other team did turn the ball over 2 out of every 5 possessions.

This achievement is considerably more impressive than wilt chamberlain, no? I mean, it's not even close.

Just watched the replay, pathetic, the guy never even got back on defense. Not impressive at all. Love that their coach pushes this system so much but has never won anything of note using it.

Its DIII basketball.

They've won their league a few times, made the playoffs a few times.

If I had to go to some D3 school and watch basketball, I would want something like that.

No I agree, I played them in college actually, middle of nowhere Iowa, obviously very hard to recruit. Plus D3 schools dont give athletic scholarships so you have to have something to draw players in.

NCAA D3 and the NCCAA D2 (the division faith baptist is in) dont give athletic scholarships. You just have a bus, and small amount of money per meal on away trips probably <$10.

They play with a theoretical 8 second shot clock and play defense with the mindset of steal or bust, sub all the effing time.
