To say Jack Taylor had the hot hand Tuesday night would be an understatement.The Grinnell sophomore guard dropped 138 points during a rout of Faith Baptist Bible, easily rewriting the collegiate scoring mark previously held by Bevo Francis of Rio Grande. Grinnell, a Division III school in Iowa, won 179-104.
Taylor was 52-of-108 from the floor and drained 27-of-71 3-pointers. He added seven free throws on 10 attempts in 36 minutes.
He has 185 points through Grinnell's first three games.
Francis held the NCAA scoring record with 113 points against Hillsdale in 1954. In 1953, Francis had 116 against Ashland Junior College. Frank Selvy is the only other player to reach triple figures, scoring 100 points for Division I Furman against Newberry in 1954.
The previous Grinnell record was 89 by Griffin Lentsch last Nov. 19 against Principia.
Holy shit.. 138 points in 38 minutes.. unreal.

Thanks for the HTML, it worked out good.
What about a general discussion forum with sub-forums like the lounge, off-topic, and such. Or just add them into conversations.

The Indiana Pacers are off to their best record in franchise history, 10-0. Led by small forward Danny Granger (24.4 PPG), the Pacers are sitting pretty at first place in the Eastern Conference. They have won four of their wins by a 15+ point margin.
They certainly haven't had a weak schedule, either. They played at Oklahoma City their second game of the season, versus Boston, at New York, and they completely demolished the Hawks in Atlanta.
So, who can stop the Pacers? They play the struggling Pistons twice this week, then they are off to Cleveland, and close out the week by playing Chicago. Chicago is going to prove to be one of their toughest games of the season, with the Bulls at an 8-2 record.
The interesting part about all of this is that their 7'2 center Roy Hibbert was injured only four games into the season. Tyler Hansbrough has held his ground well at center, even if he is a bit undersized at 6'9. David West has also been able to step up well, with rookie Miles Plumlee (7'0), and Ian Mahinmi (6'11) stepping up off the bench nicely.
The Brooklyn Nets are sitting second behind Indiana at 8-1, also having a great year. The Los Angeles Lakers are holding down the ground in the West at a nice 9-1 record.
If we sit back and take a look at their schedule, we think that Detroit or Chicago could give them their first loss of the season. After November, their schedule is harsh. They will play the Clippers, Thunder, Knicks, Heat, Lakers, and Nets in December, all very good teams.
Whatever head coach Frank Vogel has the team doing, it's working. We'll see just how far they can push their success into the season.
*Note that I am increasing the difficulty to Hall Of Fame, and putting the sliders up a bit for the CPU, so it will be a lot more of a challenge.

Granger's 30 Gives Pacers Easy WinAtlanta, Georgia -- The Pacers came in prepared to win, and they did just that tonight visiting Atlanta. More specifically, Danny Granger was. Yep, Granger is the story of another win yet again. Many think he is off to one of his best starts in his career, so far averaging 24.4 PPG, 2.0 SPG, and 4.7 RPG. He once again proved he was the leader emotionally and physically by scoring 30 points (28 of them in the first half, mind you), and averaging out his box score with 5 rebounds, 5 assists, a steal, and 2 blocks. He also attempted the most three pointers in his career, with 14. He made nearly half of them, going 6-14 from deep. He is definitely not afraid to let it fire, and that is what stars in the NBA do.
Now, if you were wondering, what happened to Granger in the second half? as he scored 28 out of his 30 in the first, here's what. It's actually been the story of almost every game of his this season. Granger gets off to a hot start in the first quarter, scoring around 15-20 points in the quarter alone. This gave Indiana a five point margin, but not a large one. Granger then capped of the half strong, scoring about 10 in the second quarter. Then, once the lead has been built (the Pacers had a 15 point lead at the half) the bench players come in and play a good margin of the second half. Frank Vogel mentioned this in his gameplan, that he had to get him going early so they could get a bit of a break in the second half. This especially helps veteran David West out, who is 31. Rest is key.
Another big part of the win is defense. With big man Roy Hibbert out for another week or so (sore foot), Tyler Hansbrough and David West have had to step up in the paint, and they did just that in this game. Hansbrough limited Horford to 4-15 shooting, while West managed high-flyer Josh Smith to a poor 7-22 shooting performance. With Joe Johnson out of the mix, things got a whole lot easier for the Pacers. Here's what Frank Vogel commented on the departure of Johnson. "It definitely takes a lot of pressure off of the defense. Last year, he used to drop a good 20-30 on us, and that left their big men (Smith, Horford) open for easy looks. In our win tonight, we just had to crack down on Horford and Smith. Our other guys could then handle their guards with a lot less pressure and come in to help down low."
The Pacers have the Trail Blazers up next, and then a whole week of division games. They play Detroit twice, Cleveland, and Chicago next week, which will be key if they want to hold down the Central Divison.Indiana Pacers at Atlanta Hawks Nov 16, 2012 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH SCORE Indiana (9-0) 30 30 34 29 123 Atlanta (3-6) 25 20 29 27 101 Indiana Pacers STARTERS MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS G.

Eight Pacers score in double-digits in blowout win
AP IND-- The Pacers thought they scored high last game against Phoenix, scoring 122. But how's 135 sound? That's right, the Pacers came into Madison Square Garden and put on a clinic on offense. The Pacers up early, outscoring New York 38-24, then keeping it up in the second, outscoring the Knicks 33-30. And the offense continued in the second half, even as head coach Frank Vogel put in their whole bench in the third quarter. Their starters briefly returned for a few minutes late in the third, but after that it was all the bench players doing work.
Speaking of bench players, let's talk about the Pacers' bench production they got. They picked up a chunk of their points off the bench with 50 points coming from the reserves. D.J. Augustin led the second unit with 20 points, four assists, and three steals. Lance Stephenson also helped out a lot, scoring 13 points, nine of them coming from long range. Gerald Green was there, as he has been all of this year, scoring 12 points. Tyler Hansbrough did a great job in this one, as he earned the start at the center with Roy Hibbert out with a sore foot for one to two weeks. Hansbrough grabbed four offensive rebounds, and cashed them in for 10 points in this one. But let's put aside the bench players for now. The reason that they got to play so much is Danny Granger. Granger scored 29 points, and balanced out the stat sheet with four assists, four assists, and three boards. He scored a whopping 18 of his points in the first quarter alone. He's certainly starting to look very good, as he did in the 2008-2009 season, second in the NBA for PPG (26 PPG).
For the Knicks, two guys did really good. The others, eh, not so much. Carmelo Anthony did very nice in this game, scoring 39 points, grabbing eight rebounds, and tallying up four steals. One guy can't win a game though, unless we're talking Wilt Chamberlain in here. He did have help from his teammates though, Amar'e Stoudemire one of them, putting up a double-double with 21 points and 15 rebounds. Four other guys (Kidd, Chandler, Shumpert, Smith) scored in double digits, but it wasn't enough for a win. The Knicks probably found out after this game that defense will win you some games, and lose you some. Their poor defense definitely lost them the game. Jason Kidd turning the ball over 12 times might add to the reasons of the loss too.Indiana Pacers at New York Knicks Nov 14, 2012 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH SCORE Indiana (7-0) 38 33 36 28 135 New York (3-4) 24 30 28 33 115 Indiana Pacers STARTERS MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS G.

Danny Granger, Pacers Hold Off Houston's 4th Quarter RunAP IND-- Indiana came away with another win, improving to 4-0. The Pacers dominated the first half, up 61-47 going into the locker room at the half. Danny Granger had been playing great, and didn't come out once in the first half, playing through the whole game in fact. In the second half, it was a bit of a different story. Houston outscored Indiana by only two points in the third quarter, but exploded in the fourth quarter, led by Kevin Martin. Houston outscored Indiana by 14 in the second half, but it wasn't enough. The Pacers would hold the lead and win this one by four points. It could be looked at by a seven point Indiana win if you don't count Martin's buzzer-beating three pointer. Let's go on to each team's strengths and weaknesses now.
For Indiana, the focus for them was defense. George Hill came away with a career high 10 steals. D.J. Augustin also stole the ball four times. Jeremy Lin, or as Houston fans might start calling him, the turnover machine, was the fault of 10 of those careless turnovers. George Hill converted most of his points off of fast breaks coming from his steals, and added a few assists on the fast break. Some of the prettier assists of the night came from Hill/Augustin to Gerald Green. Green converted three or four alley-oops in this one, giving the home crowd something to cheer about. Green has been playing outstanding off the bench, coming away with 19 points in 20 minutes tonight. If Green keeps it up, he may be on track for Sixth Man of the Year. Possibly the biggest name out there was Danny Granger, however. Granger was playing like his 2009 self out there, shooting the lights out with 33 points, and balanced out his stat sheet with seven rebounds, four assists, three steals, and a block. This is Granger's season high in points, and was 11 shy of his career high 44 points.
Now for Houston, Kevin Martin was a name that stood out immensely. Kevin 'K-Mart' Martin came away with 24 points and 10 rebounds in this one. Patrick Patterson came away with 18 points and 16 rebounds, Chandler Parsons got 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Terrence Jones grabbed 10 boards and 13 points. Certainly a lot of double-doubles to pass around in this one. If you look at the box score correctly, I guess you could say Jeremy Lin got a double-double too, with 11 assists and 10 turnovers. Not a good one, for sure though. A lot of Houston fans were very disappointed with Lin in this one, and some of them might be asking themselves, "Why did we even get this guy? Lowry was good." Lin also shot an unimpressive 4-13 from the field, and 0-3 from deep.Houston Rockets at Indiana Pacers Nov 8, 2012 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH SCORE Houston (1-3) 26 21 25 31 103 Indiana (4-0) 27 34 23 23 107 Houston Rockets STARTERS MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS Jeremy Lin 37 4-13 0-3 0-2 7 11 0 0 10 8 Kevin Martin 38 11-27 2-14 0-0 10 4 2 0 2 24 Chandler Parsons 35 7-15 0-5 2-2 12 6 1 0 5 16 Patrick Patterson 32 8-14 0-0 2-3 16 3 2 2 2 18 Terrence Jones 41 6-11 0-1 1-2 10 1 3 1 2 13 BENCH MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS Toney Douglas 14 5-9 1-2 0-0 1 2 1 1 2 11 Royce White 14 1-2 1-1 1-2 3 0 0 0 0 4 Jeremy Lamb 11 0-1 0-0 1-2 2 0 3 2 2 3 Marcus Morris 8 1-1 0-0 0-0 1 0 0 0 2 2 TEAM TOTALS 45-96 4-26 9-14 65 27 13 7 29 103 Indiana Pacers STARTERS MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS George Hill 34 8-18 1-6 2-2 2 6 10 0 4 19 Paul George 29 5-10 1-2 1-2 5 3 1 0 1 12 Danny Granger 48 13-30 5-14 2-3 7 4 3 1 1 33 David West 37 6-10 0-1 0-0 10 2 1 0 2 12 Roy Hibbert 31 3-6 0-0 0-0 7 3 2 1 3 6 BENCH MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS Gerald Green 20 8-21 2-4 1-2 3 3 1 1 1 19 D.J.

Paul George Carries Indiana To VictoryAP IND-- Boston started out this game strong, dominating Indiana in the first quarter 38-27, and held the half lead 53-43. If Indiana didn't make some changes to the game plan at the half, it was looking like Boston would carry the lead out and win the game. Coach Frank Vogel would not let that happen, pumping up the team to go out strong, and they did just that, outscoring Boston 33-26 in the third, and following up with a 31-22 fourth quarter lead which was enough to clench the narrow win.
Paul George was heavily called upon in this one, and the twenty-two year old, in his third year with the Pacers answered the call. George came out blazing, shooting a perfect 5-5 from downtown in this one, and finishing up 11-17 total field goals. George also came away with five steals in this one, playing defense and offense great, which translate to great things in basketball. Sixth man Gerald Green also came out nicely, finishing the game with 16 points and six steals. George and Green spent quite a lot of time on the floor together, and are turning out to be a dynamic duo, with both of them being phenomenally athletic. The two are considered a couple of the best dunkers in the NBA, and we saw a few alley-oops to them from D.J. Augustin in this one.
Let's talk about Boston's side now. The starting five had decent production, but one name that stood out was Jason Terry. Terry, a thirty-five year old veteran, knew what he was doing tonight, scoring a season-high 26 points in this one. Terry rounded his game out nicely, with 10 assists and five steals. Paul Pierce also did his part, scoring 18 points and adding up five steals. One thing is for sure in this game, there were a ton of steals. Both teams added up a combined 42 steals, certainly plenty to pass around the player's stat sheets.Boston Celtics at Indiana Pacers Nov 4, 2012 1ST 2ND 3RD 4TH SCORE Boston (2-1) 38 15 26 22 101 Indiana (3-0) 27 16 33 31 107 Boston Celtics STARTERS MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS Rajon Rondo 37 4-7 0-1 2-4 5 7 3 1 5 10 Jason Terry 38 11-22 1-6 3-6 1 10 5 0 2 26 Paul Pierce 38 8-18 2-2 0-1 3 1 5 1 5 18 Kevin Garnett 37 4-6 0-0 0-0 11 5 2 3 3 8 Brandon Bass 35 5-10 0-0 5-6 9 3 0 4 4 15 BENCH MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS Jeff Green 18 4-5 0-0 0-0 8 2 2 0 3 8 Fab Melo 12 2-2 0-0 3-4 3 0 1 0 0 7 Avery Bradley 11 2-3 0-0 0-0 3 1 0 0 2 4 Keyon Dooling 9 1-2 0-1 1-2 0 0 1 1 0 3 Jared Sullinger 7 1-2 0-0 0-0 2 0 0 0 2 2 TEAM TOTALS 42-79 3-11 14-25 45 29 19 10 27 101 Indiana Pacers STARTERS MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS George Hill 30 3-6 1-1 2-3 2 5 1 0 2 9 Paul George 30 11-17 5-5 3-4 5 3 5 0 4 30 Danny Granger 32 3-12 3-10 2-2 4 0 0 0 1 11 David West 27 3-6 0-0 0-0 6 2 2 0 1 6 Roy Hibbert 35 6-9 0-0 0-0 7 0 3 1 6 12 BENCH MIN FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A REB AST STL BLK TO PTS Gerald Green 27 5-15 1-5 5-7 3 0 6 0 3 16 D.J.

Danny Granger nailed a three at the buzzer to send them into the second trailing by only two. In the second quarter, the two teams couldn't miss, each one bringing it right at eachother. Neither of them cracked, and the score still stood with OKC up two. The third quarter was all Indiana, however. Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee came off the bench blazing, Green was unstoppable in the paint. Plumlee seemed to get every rebound, thus slowing down OKC's big men's production on the offensive glass. The Pacers had the lead in the fourth by more than 10, but the Thunder came back and made it a close one, pulling to within 5 at one point. Indiana would hold off to win this one 112 to 106.

I think I am going to bring my Indiana Pacers association over here as well. If all goes well, I might start up a My Player and post it here too.

Allow HTML so I can post my box scores from Operation Sports onto here if I post my chise

Discuss anything (general, not trades, news etc.) regarding the NBA in here.

Thought I'd make a place to post suggestions for the site.
You should definitely add a chatbox and make 'Sports Talk' a regular forum, and branch it off into sub-forums such as NBA, NFL, MLB, etc.

Nah, I like Purdue, I just don't follow them too much. I don't really get into the state rivalries, I tend to like all of the local teams.
