Dude went off. The vid shows him triple teamed sometimes. Can we trade Blake for this guy...lol
And the real reason I'm posting this is because I LMAO at the 1st comment under the article that said:
If Carmello shot 108 times he'd finish with 35 points
Had to share that with the LN.

Of the 136 field goal attempts Grinnell had in the game, Taylor attempted 108 of them, making a respectable 52. He sank 25 of 37 shots from inside the arc, 27 of 71 3-pointers and 7 of 10 free throws to get to 138 points.

1) Ran up the score on a horrible defensive team that is now 0-5 (score of 179-104).
2) Shot the ball every 20 seconds (36 minutes, 108 shots).
3) His team has been trying to get him to score 100+ in a game (89 points in one last year).
4) Taylor's team wasn't playing much defense, either...because they allowed a guy to score 70 on them in the same game (with no threes) in a 40-minute game.

I'm sort of impressed (because he made 27 threes), but sad that this has to go into the record books, because he basically had his coach and teammates rallying to help him get this record, and even when the game was out of reach, it continued.

It's also D3. Most NBA players could go into a D3 game and score 100 or more, if everyone on their team wanted it...let's just stick that out there.

EDIT: Oh, and I would slap my teammate in the face if he ignored me and took 71 threes in a game.

yea, I agree with all that RD. Even Blake would dominate these guys. But like I said, the Carmelo diss was funny as funny gets imo...lol

D-III Player’s 138 Point-Game Is A Sham Record And Shouldn’t Be Celebrated By Anyone

Jack Taylor, of the Grinnell College Pioneers, scored 138 points in a game last night, against Faith Baptist Bible College. It's a mindblowing number, shattering the old NCAA mark of 113, and it's being trumpeted as one of sports' all-time individual achievements. It is not. It is bull[expletive]. It is just the latest incarnation of Grinnell's decades-old strategy of seeking media attention for records achieved through a complete bastardization of basketball.

David Arseneault is the man behind the plan. Since becoming Grinnell coach in 1989, Arseneault has focused less on putting together a successful team and more on getting his players' names in the record books. And, not incidentally, selling books and videos touting his innovative "system." At least three separate times a Grinnell player has set the D-III single-game scoring record, and each one has gotten national attention. In 1998, Jeff Clement went for 77 points, and received a story in Sports Illustrated. Last season Griffin Lentsch scored 89 points, and got a feature on ESPN.com. Today, Taylor's 138-point game is everywhere.
