Lincoln University beat Ohio State-Marion 201-78. They scored 97 in the first half, 104 in the second. One of their players had 69 points and was 21-41 from three in only 24 minutes.
It's pretty embarrassing to actually do that to a team but at the same time it's kind of impressive when you think about a player chucking a three about every 30 seconds and hitting half of them.
WOW!!!! Without the link I never would have believed it. That is simply insane.
Holy cows!!!! I don't care what division you play in, that is just amazing!
talk about running about a score! yeesh.
That's just freaking amazing. What was their shooting percentage??
would of thought grinnel would do that first
How in the hell did Marion have 62 turnovers? Holy pathetic Batman!
To be perfectly honest, this game kind of made me sick. It really says a lot about the sportsmanship (or, rather, the lack thereof) of the coach. His team attempted 35 3-pointers in the second half of a game where they led at half by 53 points. Lincoln's leading scorer shot 41 3-pointers in this game. I mean, come on. I totally understand the "shoot it when you're hot" philosophy, but honestly, what coach, when up by 53, doesn't tell his players to take their time and run off some clock?
Here's a link to the box score.
BOX SCORE
I had a friend who told me about this. He said the team played the whole bench and everyone was just on fire. I don't care who you are to attempt 41 3's in a game is insane. A lot of teams don't attempt 21 which was how many he made. That's in a game too not in the 24 minutes he played which is just over a half.
There were 31 people in attendance at the game according to the box score. I wonder how many people watched the end?
Surprised they didn't have a halftime walkon tryouts to make the game a little more even.
lol...didn't even notice that.
I should also note that the leading scorer attempted NINE 3-pointers in the final five minutes of this game.
Lincoln did play some defense: game stats show 48 steals to go with 62 OSU-Marion turnovers.
This isn't even basketball. It is a circus sideshow act. Who cares what they scored. Doesn't mean they are good. Against quality competition and fundamentals, they would get destroyed. This diminishes the concept of the game.
Why did the opposing coach not go into a four corners offense to slow the thing down.
The way it sounds he couldn't get the ball over half-court to set up an offense. It is amazing that they even scored 78 points. That makes what, 278 points in 40 min? That's an average of almost 7 points per minute. Amazing.Quote:
