Kid at Grinnell College (Division III) Scores 138 Points In A Single Game

Part of the reason this happened at Grinnell and not somewhere else is that Grinnell employs some kind of strategy from Pluto -- they apparently play no defense, and just lob shot after shot at the basket.

But it sort of works; they're 14-5. Their opponents usually score over 100; but Grinnell usually scores a little bit more than that.

The score in this game was 179-104. 179.

This kid, Jack Taylor, had kind of bad percentages -- under 50% on his shots, and he went only 27 for 71 on three point shots. Yes, you read that right. He took 71 three point shots. He took a total of 108 shots (52 for 108 overall).

But he broke the record.

Metaphor for life? Just keep taking shots, baby. Just keep taking shots.
