(Source) - Grinnell College star Jack Taylor couldn't help but smile Sunday after his latest mind-bending scoring effort brought the 951 fans in Darby Gymnasium to their feet to cheer him on.
Taylor's break-the-box-score act never seems to get old.
The junior guard, who burst onto the college basketball scene a season ago with an NCAA record-shattering 138-point performance, cracked the century mark again with 109 points during a 173-123 home victory against Crossroads College
Taylor etched his name in the record books again by shooting 35-of-70 from the field, including 24-of-48 from three-point range. He made 15-of-17 free-throw attempts to finish with 109 points, the third-most in NCAA history.
Only Taylor's landmark performance last year and Clarence "Bevo" Francis' old mark of 113 in 1954 stand ahead of him.
"Tonight, we just wanted my shot to kind of come in the flow of the offense with catch-and-shoot type plays," Taylor said.
Fuck this kid. You're not doing anything amazing, you're just a skinny white kid playing DIII ball at some shitty school in the middle of Iowa. Jesus, pass the fucking ball bro. Is your dad the coach or something? How the hell is this even allowed? Do people just throw all basketball logic out the window in Division III? Is it just like ok give the best player the ball and basically let him do whatever he wants and nobody complain about it? Because Grinnell basically has the same offense that my team had in 4th grade. Except we had a tall, black guy who struck fear into the heart's of every small, white child on the court and Grinnell has a poor man's Jimmer Fredette who looks like he may or may not have tried meth once or twice.
Oh and Jack, just so you know, your teammates hate you dude. Like if there is one thing in this world that I can say with complete confidence, it is that your teammates fucking loathe you. I've never even met you and I 100% hate your guts already. "Tonight, we just wanted my shot to kind of come in the flow of the offense with catch-and-shoot type plays,"? No, we wanted to run an offense, work the ball into the paint, establish a fast tempo and run the floor. You decided to shoot every fucking time the ball touched your hands. Um bro if your shot was that good, guess what, you would be probably playing at a better school. I hope with all of my heart that after the game your teammates took you out back and beat your ass so profoundly that next game you get 100 assists.
PS - Some kid on the other team dropped like 70. Is this seriously how DIII basketball is? One kid on the team just gets to chuck all day while the rest of them just run around passing to him with no hope of getting the ball back? Honestly asking because I've never seen a DIII game in my life.
