Some guy named Jack Taylor scored 138 points for D-III Grinnell tonight.
Now, we all know how absurd the Grinnell style of play has become, but wow…
And, honestly, the 138 points is not the most ridiculous part of the dude’s stat line. He took 71 three-pointers. That’s right, Taylor jacked up SEVENTY-ONE shot from behind the line. He made 27 threes and still only shot 38% from behind the arc. He was 25-for-37 from 2-point land, giving him a grand total of 52 field goals in 108 attempts. And, to round it out, he was 7-for-10 from the line. I guess when you’re gunning 71 threes, you don’t really get fouled all that much.
138 points?!?!?!? Impressive, but that’s not really basketball.
Some of these quotes in the article are hilarious.
“Taylor was 32 of 58 from the field – including 18 3s – in the final 20 minutes and averaged an astonishing four points a minute in the second half.
“It felt like anything I tossed up was going in,” Taylor said.”
Well, Jack, I wouldn’t say ANYTHING you tossed up was going in, since you did miss 26 SHOTS in that HALF. Haha
Superb post but I was wondering if you could write a litte
more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you
could elaborate a little bit more. Kudos!
