Which Marquette player holds the record for most points scored in a game? Could Carlino be close?
41 for Novak against UConn instantly comes to mind.
Tony Smith had 44 vs Wisky once.
Would not be surprised if this is the most points scored by an NCAA basketball player ever without making a two point field goal. Would be interesting to be able to dig through the stats to confirm this.
I think Butch Lee scored around 50 points but that was in the Olympics playing for Puerto Rico.
Carlino was feeling it. I'm sure he wishes he shot more. Love the confidence.
If I recall correctly, Tony Smith scored 44 twice his senior year, once against Wisconsin and again in the NIT against Penn State.
Tony's 44 tied Mike Moran (1958) for the highest ever! Smith also went for 43 in a game.
