All-Time Scoring Record

Just taking a look at the stats going down the road here, and it is very likely that both Dominic James and Lazar Hayward will surpass George Thompson's career scoring record of 1773 points by the time both their Marquette careers end. 

As of tonight, James is at 1284 overall points.  Assuming James stays next year, and maintains his overall career average of 14.5 thru the rest of this season and next season (estimated 130 games overall, based on the 32.5 games on average played in James' first two seasons), James will end up with 1897 points.  At his current scoring pace, he should break Thompson's scoring record sometime in mid-February 2009.

Lazar didn't get off to the same fast start James did (15.3 and 473 total points vs. 6.6 and 224 total points as a freshman), but he's got a better shot than any current player besides James.  Assuming Lazar maintains his current average of 14 PPG the rest of the year, combined with a modest bump in Lazar's scoring averages over the next 2 years (16 PPG in '09 and 18 PPG in '10), and the same average number of games played as James (32.5 games/year), Hayward will end up with 1791 points by the time he graduates. 

Obviously the number of conference tournament and postseason tournament games, plus the ability to avoid injury/illness will impact if and when both players will reach Thompson's record, but we may be witnessing two of the top scorers in Marquette history on the court at the same time right now. 

The General has taken on a new command.

So how much does Robert Frozena have to improve by each year to have a shot?

But keep it in perspective - Thompson did it in three years.
