Grinnell College Player Scores 138 Points

You would think the game plan was to see how many Jack could score and either FBC was for it too or their coach should be fired for not figuring it out. Hello, triangle & 2?!?!

This is normal for Grinnell. Here's a good article on the way they play:

They normally have a game like this each year where someone gets to set a record (I saw the most assists ever by a single player, and saw a player drop 78). It helps with recruiting at a D3 school.

Did it in 101 shots.....key point not taken into account.

True. We have a chant at games that is "THREE IS MORE THAN 2!"

Jack Taylor must be the Percy Gibson of perimeter players.

I knew I should of looked it up before I posted so thanks for the correction.

150 trips up and down court
take 94 shots
half of shots are 3 pointers
rebound at least 33% of missed shots
force at least 32 turnovers

I watched a bit of the video replay (before it stopped -- I think their site is getting hammered) and the commentators mentioned that they were going to try to have Taylor break the scoring record. Normally everyone participates in the hockey-style substitutions, but he played most of this game (he averaged 13.5 mpg in the other two games).

Faith isn't about to fire their coach. They would be a real case where the sport is not a main focus of the school, but a ministry tool to the school's mission.

As a school competing in the NCCAA, they're basically North Carolina A&T for Grinnell, but without the big payday.

It's really wild to see one of my alma maters involved in that score!

Umm a guy on the other team had like 70

**Gtown25** · 11-20-2012, 11:47 PM

Everybody needs to go see a Grinnell College bball once in their life!! So awesome! And his teammates wanted him to score. I'll share the link with his interview with ESPN.

Sooo...Grinnell > Wilt Chamberlain ???

**Let's Go State** · 11-21-2012, 07:25 AM

What year did we lose Grinnell in conference expansion?

**ISUFan22** · 11-21-2012, 08:04 AM

Good for him. I'm amused by some of the outcry on this and people that are just plain mad. It's just a game and they choose to play a different style. Doesn't take away from what Wilt did in his day.

No one freaks over the type of offensive stats Texas Tech and a few others put up...
