Not even one assist?
I would be ashamed. He wasn't even HOT.

Good stuff. I read another article a few years ago about a season at Grinnell where they fell out of contention, so the coach and team decided to set a few NCAA records as their end-of-season goals, specifically a few scoring records for their top shooter. So, planned records seems well within the realm of possibility here. I was thinking the same thing when I saw the 36 minutes.

Personally, I disagree with the style. But it is good for recruiting and the teams have a ton of fun. On thing I hated was that they would run schools off the court and never slow up. It would be 130 to 39 with 45 seconds left and he would have these girls full court pressing.

Am I the only person who finds this impressive? He still had to make those shots he was putting up.

Here's video of what the previous Grinnell record looked like (Lentsch's 89 points): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nIQVxbKhRw
Has to be a weird feeling to drop 89... only to have your record broken by almost 40 a year later.

Apparently a guy on the other team hit 34/44 fga. that's pretty impressive shooting.

He was 38% from 3.
It's okay.

38% at that volume, when you take fatigue into account is insane.

Well another aspect of the Grinnell system is they're awfully willing to give up a free bucket in the half court, so the opposition's statistics also tend to bloat when they play. Grinnell's goal is pretty much to force a turnover with their full court pressure. If that fails, they'll often concede a two point basket just so they can quickly come the other way and fire another triple and get back into their defensive pressure. The idea is to out score the opposition through turnovers and shear volume.

Ha, that ties in pretty well to a discussion I was having on this website yesterday (regarding Damian Lillard's end-of-game dunk). I feel the system is known well enough for coaches and players to understand that it's something that's going to occur for the duration of the game. There's no off button. Down is up. Black is white. All bets are off. I'd have to believe most teams know full well that when a Grinnell system team runs to the end, it's nothing remotely close to being unsportsmanlike, it's just the system being the system. It's based upon being able to play a mega speed for the duration of a contest, no ifs, ands, or buts.
That said, contrary to the Lillard discussion yesterday, a terribly outmatched college opponent drawing issue with a full court press late in a contest is quite understandable to me. I feel like if any team but one with a Grinnell type system were pulling it off, it'd be a rightful issue. You mentioned the 130-39 example. I could see where some would have an issue. If I were the coach of the team with 39 though, I'd understand that's just how the system operates.

Folks, this is why scoring a lot of points is not always a sign of greatness. 138 or 81, against weak competition, plus a license to shoot unlimited number of shots, anybody can score a lot with that.
