This year Jack Taylor “only” scored 109.
Have ball, will shoot: Grinnell College’s Jack Taylor fires a 3-point shot during Sunday’s game against Crossroads College. He scored 109 points — the second time he’s topped 100 in a game.
The Grinnell College basketball player, who set an NCAA record a year ago when he scored 138 points in one game, poured in 109 Sunday night during his team’s 173-123 win over Crossroads College of Rochester, Minn.
“It was definitely fun,” he tells All Things Considered host Robert Siegel.
Taylor is one of only three men to have hit the century mark in a single game between two NCAA opponents. As we explained last year, Clarence “Bevo” Francis of Rio Grande College scored 113 points in 1954 game against Hillsdale College. Also in 1954, Furman’s Frank Selvy scored 100 in a win over Newberry College.
