GRINNELL, Iowa -- Jack Taylor renewed his membership in the Century Club.

Taylor scored 109 points for Division III Grinnell College on Sunday, shooting 24-for-48 on 3-pointers in a 173-123 win over Crossroads. He poured in 53 during the first nine minutes of the second half.

The 5-foot-10 guard from Black River Falls, Wis., set an NCAA record for any level by scoring 138 points last Nov. 20 in a 179-104 win over Faith Baptist Bible College.

The only other player to score more than 109 in an NCAA game was Rio Grande's Clarence "Bevo" Francis, who had 113 against Hillsdale in 1954.

Against Crossroads College, in Rochester, Minn., Taylor was 35 of 70 overall from the field while playing only 29 minutes. He made 15 of 17 foul shots.

"Just like last year, I couldn't have done this without my teammates," Taylor said. "I give so much credit to them. This truly was a team effort. I'm thankful for the program and the people I have playing with me."

Taylor scored 71 points in the Pioneers' 144-99 victory Friday in the season opener against Finlandia.

I just don't understand how you can get that hot.

Look up his college team and youtube, they take the first shot they get every time down the court and they just swarm on defence. This is the team that also sets out to break specific scoring records.

I saw an article about him a couple of days ago and about how he got injured last year and wanted to prove he can score 100 again. Good for him I guess.

He just shoots open shots without running back on defense at all. You just need a good arm stamina.

I need a vid. No defense must have been played.

You can't even really call what they do basketball. It's a system they run, they pick out the worse teams in the league and then pull this on them to see how much he can score.

their system really is crazy, there's a reason the other teams score so much against them too. They swarm on d and then just pass to one person who shoots no matter what on offence in as short a time as possible, they try to break certain records. This kids a good shooter but other than that he doesn't really play actual basketball.

Damn lol. What a ridiculous way to play basketball. The guy put up 70 shots in 29 minutes of play.

they sub in a new 5 every few minutes or something crazy too so they stay fresh, they leave players back waiting at the 3point line and don't mind giving up a 2 on the other end just to lob back for a 3. Crazy system. There was a bunch of articles around when he scored the 138 or whatever last time

Still has to hit 24 3's at a 50% rate..

It's 3rd division, they play for fun.

You would have never heard of Taylor or the team if it wasn't for this particular system.

I guess. I'd be just fine with never hearing about him or the team though. I don't care what level you're playing at, if your main goal is to break records rather than win(although they seem to do that quite handily), I can't respect that.

DIII is pretty much intramural.

It's about on par with Euroleague level talent/competition. So this kid would theoretically be dropping 100pts on Euroleague teams.
