Grinnell College’s Taylor smashes NCAA record with 138 points

GRINNELL (GC) — Jack Taylor  may be just three games into his career as a Grinnell College basketball player, but Tuesday night he made an impact that rippled across the nation.

The Pioneer shattered the NCAA record for points in a game, regardless of level, when he poured in 138 points … yes, that’s correct … 138 points in a 179-104 victory over Faith Baptist Bible College before a big crowd at Darby Gymnasium.

News of the feat spread quickly and just a few hours after the game, Taylor had been interviewed by media outlets from coast to coast including ESPN.
