Bevo Francis, We Knew You Well...

Well, at least those of us who knew our basketball trivia did...

Until tonight, Francis was the record-holder for points in a game with 113 against Hillsdale College in 1954...

Grinnell (IA) College sophomore Jack Taylor scored 138 points in a 179-104 win over Faith Baptist Bible College going 52-for-108 from the floor (27-for-71 from 3-point)

In 36 minutes...

And how in the blue hell is he allowed to put up THAT many shots in 36 minutes...???

That's a shot every 20 seconds...

The old Grinnell record was 89 points by Griffin Lentsch last November 19th against Principia...

By now the story of Griffin Lentsch has become the stuff of legend.

Lentsch, who plays for the Grinell Pioneers in Iowa started off his season with a bang, scoring 89 points (yes, 89) in the teams opening game Saturday versus Principia.

He dropped 15 3-pointers and 20 out of 22 free-throws leading the Pioneers to the win, 145-89. He had 40 points at the half.
