Markus Climbing The Ladder

[Marqevans]

But we'll hear about no 3 point line...

Don't forget no shot clock reduced scoring greatly also.

[WarriorInNYC]

maybe add a sub-section for Sam?

40. CROWDER, Jae        1049
40. MERRITT, Scott       1049
42. CRAWFORD, Chris    1048
43. SCHULZ, Rube         1042
44. CURRY, Ron             1040
45. JOHNSON, Dwayne  1027
45. MILLER, Tony          1027
47. FISCHER, Luke        1014
48. JOHNSON, JaJuan    1013
49. WALTON, Lloyd       1006
50. HAUSER, Sam         1003

Sam is also continuing to climb the list.  The list quoted for Markus ends with Aaron Hutchins at #20.  Picking up there:

21. Mike Moran - 1,355
22. Russ Wittberger - 1,353
23. Cordell Henry - 1,347
24. Ron Glaser - 1,330
25. Terry Rand - 1,309
26. Michael Wilson - 1,299
27. Davante Gardner - 1,287
28. Tom Flynn - 1,282
29. Dwyane Wade - 1,281
30. Jim McIlvaine - 1,278
31. Jimmy Butler - 1,277
32. Anthony Pieper - 1,234
33. Doc Rivers - 1,234
34. Earl Tatum - 1,234
35. Oliver Lee - 1,227
36. Kerry Trotter - 1,221
37. Robb Logterman - 1,201
38. Sam Hauser - 1,117 - through Butler
39. Bernard Toone - 1,103
40. Andrew Rowsey - 1,087

Sam is averaging 15.5.  With only 2 postseason games, that would put him at 1,288.  1 ahead Davante for 27th.  Using the same average over 34 games for next year, he would end up sitting at 3rd all time just behind Lazar.

And while he is currently averaging 15.5, he's at 22.8 over the last 5.

[LloydsLegs]

A healthy Markus could approach 3,000.

Say 14 more games this year (10 conf + BE + NCAA)

And 38 games next year

52 games x25 ppl = 1,300 + his current 1,653. 
😲

4th 

[SaveOD238]

Could Markus realistically get to 3k?

We'd have to play DEEP into March for him to hit 2k this year.  Then he would have to stay (less likely the deeper we go) and have a 1000 point season.  I just don't see it.

[dannyb334]

Markus will no doubt be staying. he has the scoring ability for the League, but doesn't have the defense, vision, athleticism to match yet. He'll be back next year. Would love to see him hit 3K

[WarriorInNYC]

4th 

Haha, oops!  I forgot about that other guy that would be up there!

[MU82]

In the post-game interview last night, they brought up the next couple games and Markus looked like he went to another planet in his head. He knows St. John's & Nova have been boogeymen, just like Hinkle was, and he's on a mission. I can't wait to see what he does with the off week to prep for St. John's & another several days to prep for Nova, both at the Fiserv. The guy's a savant, I feel like he's going to deliver us a masterpiece.

I agree ... though St. John's and especially Nova are far bigger obstacles than Hinkle was. The arena doesn't suit up; Butler does, and that's a pretty bad team!

[oldwarrior81]

almost as amazing, Maravich averaged 39 shots per game.  Along with 14 free throws.

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

Its odd to think about this so early, but Markus will likely start his ascent past some all-time greats on the scoring list in the next few games.

Jerel McNeal - 1,985
Lazar Hayward - 1,859
George Thompson - 1,773
Dominic James - 1,749
Butch Lee - 1,735
Travis Diener - 1,691
Brian Wardle - 1,690
Tony Smith - 1,688
Wesley Matthews - 1,673
MARKUS 1670 Through STJBo Ellis - 1,663
Darius Johnson-Odom - 1,649
Damon Key - 1,647
Dean Meminger - 1,637
Trevor Powell - 1,571
Steve Novak - 1,567
Don Kojis - 1,504
Bob Wolf - 1,479
Roney Eford - 1,471
Aaron Hutchins - 1,439
Don Kojis - 1,504

Passes Bo

[Galway Eagle]

Passes Bo

Will almost definitely be knocking on the top 5 after nova

[We R Final Four]

should have 1673 pts, after the three FTs at the end of the game on Heron after The Thing!

Elite company that he is in now.

[Johnny B]

Passed 4 guys eh

Big big day. 

[tower912]

I lose track.   Do these points count because of that turnover?

[Heisenberg]

How many points does MH have for the season and how far away is he from Rowsey's season record set last year?

[GooooMarquette]

Butch in his sights. The ultimate in MU royalty.

[CountryRoads]

If Markus keeps his average and MU makes the final of the BET, he has a good chance to break the all time record the first NCAA tournament game.

(Needs 277 points on 11 games. 7 left in conference. 3 in BET. 1 in ncaa. 25ppg. It's doable and would be a cool accomplishment.)

He's on pace to break that record in 5 more games. So the home game against Creighton.

[We R Final Four]

When you pass names like Matthews, Smith, Wardle and Deiner in a game AND get a huge win.....that's quite a day!

With seven regular season games left, he can be near 800 points before post season play. 

Then If we play 5 or 6 post season (BET, NCAA) he could hit 1,000 for the season.

What is the probability he hits 1,000 points this season?

[tower912]

Slim.  Need 40 games averaging 25 to get to 1000.

[Heisenberg]

Slim.  Need 40 games averaging 25 to get to 1000.

3 BET and 6 NCAA games gets us 40 games.

That means the BET finals and the NCAA finals.

[AZWarrior]

3 BET and 6 NCAA games gets us 49 games.

That means the BET finals and the NCAA finals.

Doable.  :-)
