Niang is at 989. If he has two more years scoring like this year (567), he'd be at 2123, which is just behind Barry Stevens for second.
Assuming 35 game seasons, Niang would have to average 21ppg over the next two seasons to catch Grayer.

It's sad but doesn't surprise me. I believe this is the first time we have made the NCAA's 3 years in a row. Johnny had our first ever 20 win season, but his teams could rarely win on the road. He also would usually have a down year or two in between his good years. Floyd and Eustachy both had a couple of great years, but then their win/loss records fell back for different reasons. Morgan and McDermott had good but not great teams.
Edit: Meant to be a reply to Guetterdone's 22 win post.

I think he could do it, but our teams will be too talented and he's too good a passer.
No.
For most of college basketball history the seasons were much shorter. The increase in season length has come with early entry, jucos, and transfers in general.
I hate in college football when people say 'first 10 win season in 100 years' when for most of those 100 years teams weren't even playing 10 games. Records are rarely fair that way.
The college game desperately needs a faster shot clock. It'll make a lot of stats irrelevant at a lot of schools and nationally, but it's the right thing to do for the game.
Sounds reachable. I can see a near 19 ppg average next year, and then a possible All American 24 ppg his senior year. More consistent 3 ball, and less foul trouble due to having other bigs down low will be a plus. Not saying it's a guarantee, just a good possibility.
Greg McDermott recruited and got comittments from Doug McDermott and Melvin Ejim in the same season. The national POY and the Big 12 POY...not bad.
