So - who is leading all of college basketball in scoring?

[tornado]

Well...

The MVC's scoring leader is Doug McDermott at 21.5 ppg but that's not even Top 30 nationally in D-I - TB is 3rd in the MVC at 18.7 ppg

The nation's best player in D-I is Texas' J'Covan Brown at 29.3 ppg...

BUT the nation's leading college scorer is...(talk about up-tempo basketball)..
Griffin Lentsch of D-III Grinnell College who is averaging 89 points per game - seriously!

"Lentsch erupted for 89 points, an NCAA Division III national record, as the
Pioneer men's basketball team sailed past Principia College 145-97 Saturday..
Lentsch??™s scoring output surpassed the previous D-III mark of 77 points set
by former Grinnell star Jeff Clement ??™99 in 1998.
Lentsch??™s total is third all-time in all of NCAA, placing only behind the 112-
point production by Clarence ???Bevo??? Francis of Rio Grande in 1954 and the 110
-point output by Frank Selvy of Furman, also in 1954."

(in their preseason exhibition game against an Australian Junior National team he was held to only 36 points!)

Not difficult to rack up that many points in Grinnells offense. Its still an amazing feat but the way that they chuck up 3's is unreal!

It's actually very odd for anyone player to score that much more than his teammates for any length of time in the Grinell offense. The Grinell offense is usually used when the overall talent is not good on the team, it focuses on running a VERY fast paced offense subbing EXTREMELY often to stay fresh and completely disrupt the other teams gameplan. It isn't any offense that will be used by talented it teams, but it creates a game where either team can win, and a lot of times that is better odds than a team would normally have...

I would be able to take the offense and its gimmick more seriously if Grinnell actually won more games.

3 conference championships in 10 years isn't winning? BU hasn't done that since... the 50's?
