NCAA record set Jack taylor 138 point game

[PDad]

He made 27 of 71 3-pointers and 52 of 108 overall, then said "It felt like everything I tossed up was going in."
Well, not exactly. While there were plenty of points, there was a ridiculous number of shots, and his percentages aren't very impressive.
...
Now for some good shooting, the kid from the other team who scord 70 points shot like 77%. That is remarkable.

Comparing overall percentages is very misleading because Taylor shot a ton of 3-pointers and the other kid, Larson, only shot 2 (0-2). Taylor's percentages were very good for both 3-pt shots (27-71 38%) and 2-pt (25-37 67.6%).

All I know miss or hit he has to be warn out after shooting that many times

Devils advocate :
Fastpitch, the score is 9-5 and both teams are struggling on defense ... My team has the lead & I'm still bunting & stealing ... Am I an 'ass hat' ?

Hell no - 9-5 is way too close, plus you need to work on bunting and stealing, squeeze plays, hit and run - lots of fun stuff. But - you can be an 'ass hat' if the mood comes over you anyway. I try to at least weekly.

As you know, my nickname is Mr A. Hat ... Just ask Mr Notso Freakiniceonthefone ... But 9-5 is the same as 179-104 ... But D-Man, if the hat fits, wear it

Wait, did you just say a 4 run lead in softball is the equivalent of a 75 point lead in basketball? Mkay

Ratio wise, yes ... But bottom line, neither team was playing defense ... 283 points in a game ? If your playing Fastpitch do you call of the dogs at 18-10 ? I'm thinking if they can score 10 on us then they can score 9 more ... In hoops, when would you call off the dogs in a game when they are scoring twice to your three ? Eh ? I don't know the game and don't really care ... But, he is a little guy and made a lot of low percentage shots ... The losing team attempted just six 3 pointers hitting 0 ?

The biggest comeback in NCAA history was 31points, Kentucky over LSU 99-95, after trailing 68-37.

Safe to say this latest game was in the bag early in the 2nd half and the rest was just running up the score. Maybe coach asshat had a bad religious experience when he was younger.

... But bottom line, neither team was playing defense ... 283 points in a game ? ...

Grinnell uses an aggressive full-court press the entire game which explains a lot about the high score and Larson's shooting percentage. When the press is successful, Grinnell gets the ball back quickly (FBB had 49 turnovers compared to 17 for Grinnell). When the other team beat the press, they got a lot of quick layups - 66 of Larson's 70 points were layups.

Taylor played 36 minutes, the other 4 starters 56 and 15 reserves played 108.

As Grinnell funneled the ball to Taylor for shot after shot — an elbow-testing 108 in all — Larson was assigned to the far end of the court against the opponent's full-court press. What it meant: The player from a winless college in Ankeny, Iowa, was about to conduct a two-hour, personal layup clinic to break his school's record in the 179-104 loss.

For Larson, it was cardiovascular boot camp — in high-top sneakers.

Layups sound easy, right? Well, they are ... until you try to score 33 of them.

"You get really tired," Larson said of facing Grinnell, which uses a record-setting system that switches player lineups in shifts like an NHL line change. "That's a lot of running."
