College Basketball All-Time Scoring Record

Nobody is ever going to assume there's an equivalence. The Maravich legend will continue unabated, no matter how many points this kid scores, or how many low level post-season tournaments he participates in.

This article said that Davis is coached by his father, and the team has had a losing record each season he has played. It is apparent that Davis is THEE offensive cog in this team's success. He shoots a lot, misses a lot, and makes 40%. When he's hot, the team wins. When he's cold, they lose. Just like last night.

Exactly! Not far off from Maravich, albeit at a lower level. It's not a record that should be held in high regard.

For the record, he played way more games, but also shot half as many shots a game from the field as Maravich. Shot 38% from 3 point land, finishing up this season at a hair over 41%. For comparison that's about Steph Curry's college average at Davidson (Not in any way comparing him to Curry BTW).

Good for the kid. He'll likely barely get a sniff at G-League, let alone the NBA, but he can say he scored as many points in college as "Pistol Pete".

Ron Dayne is the All-Time Division 1 Leader in Rushing Yards (including Bowl games). He was a barely serviceable NFL back. Not including Bowl games, a fella by the name of Donnel Pumphrey has the record. He graduated 5 years ago. He's an assistant coach at his college now.

This is low stakes stuff man.

and as we know he fell short but I saw a story that said his college could play in another tournament (for a $50K fee) and then he would have at least 1 more game to beat it.

I hope he does not. As others said to score that many points in over 2 extra years and in so many extra games it just seems wrong.
In reality it happens already in all sports like the NBA all time scoring leaders and in MLB and all their records but it will never take away from the LEgend of Pistol Pete
