Only needs 35 points. What an accomplishment if he can get to 1,000 by the end of just his sophomore year.

Very impressive. Georges is absolutely that guy that will feel like he's been here for ten years to opposing fans.

Maybe I misheard, but in the senior day presentation it sounded like the PA guy messed up and said 3000 points for Kane. Did anyone else catch that or did I just hear it wrong.
Good lawd Grayer's mark might stand forever. That's insane.
If Georges stays healthy, he will probably end up top 5. We're going to run out of rafter space in Hilton!

He's got a shot at Grayer, but it would be tough. let's say he gets to 1000 career points, by the end of this season. He's averaging about 16 points per game this year. Let's say, for the next two years, he averages 18 points per season (that's not far fetched). If we play roughly the same number of games as we did this year for each of the next two, he'll be right around the Barry Stevens level.
2K would be huge no matter what. The reason this team is so good is that we don't rely on one scorer exclusively. I'd be just fine with him ended up at #3 if we get a few final fours and championship shots along the way. 1 championship down!
So, in the closing seconds of the 2016 championship game of the Final Four, with ISU leading by 10 and Niang at 1992 and a single point behind Fred’s career total, does Coach run a play for Niang to score and pass him?
:smile:
:smile:
Here is to hoping he finishes the year with at least 1050!
Fizer had a decent shot at topping Grayer, but as will be the case going forward, any senior-to-be that would have a chance, will likely leave early for the NBA.
