   Iowa's single-season scoring record is possible for Peter Jok. Current avg of 23.54 ppg x 33 games = 777. Record is John Johnson ('70), 699.

   If Iowa plays another 22 games (realistic) and Jok averages 20 ppg, he would be #11 all-time in scoring at 1,571 points. Currently #31.

9 Jess Settles...1,611 (5 yrs: 1994-1997, 1999, 116 GP, .490 FG%,, 13.9 ppg; 113 three pt goals)

10 Adam Haluska...1,578 (3 yrs: 2005-2007; 98 GP, .430 FG%,, 16.1 ppg; 212 three pt goals); NOTE: 284 pts @ ISU = 1,862 in four years

11 Dean Oliver...1,561 (4 yrs: 1998-2001, 126 GP, .384 FG%,, 12.4 ppg; 161 three pt goals)

15 Jeff Horner...1,502 (4 yrs: 2003-2006, 123 GP, .391 FG%,, 12.2 ppg; 262 three pt goals)

16 Ed Horton...1,372 (4 yrs: 1986-1989, 131 GP, .516 FG%,, 10.5 ppg; 1 three pt goals)

17 Bruce King...1,361 (3 yrs: 1975-1977, 80 GP, .479 FG%,, 17 ppg)

22 Kenyon Murray...1,230 (4 yrs: 1993-1996, 124 GP, .462 FG%, 9.9 ppg; 49 three pt goals)


NOTABLES:

Sam Williams...1,176 (2 yrs: 1967-1968, 49 GP, .466 FG%,, 24 ppg)
John Johnson...1,172 (2 yrs: 1969-1970, 49 GP, .543 FG%,, 23.9 ppg)
Fred Brown...1,091 (2 yrs: 1970-1971, 48 GP, .501 FG%,, 22.7 ppg)
Reggie Evans...1,054 (2 yrs: 2001-2002, 69 GP, .486 FG%,, 15.3 ppg; 1 three point goal)

Keep in mind that the 3 point shot was officially introduced to all of college basketball for the 1986-87 season. As you see above, that benefited Matt Gatens with 239 extra career points from his 239 three point shot makes. Imagine if the three point shot had existed for "Downtown Freddie Brown." It is interesting, too, that Horner made 262 three point shots; only his overall .391 FG % prevented him from further climbing up the career scoring list.

Whats interesting, too, is that Don Nelson and Ronnie Lester had great scoring averages; however, because of fewer games played at Iowa, it prevented them from being higher up the all time list.

21.2 ppg, 72 GP, Don Nelson,
16.9 ppg, 99 GP, Ronnie Lester

Jeff Horner will be in the house tonight I believe he is an Assistant Coach at North Dakota

 

[hawk-i bob]

comparing scoring totals is really worthless...other than to say if PJ ends up with scoring over 700 this season...that would be one heck of a season.

JJ scored 699 in only 25 games....*without the benefit of a 3 point line*.

Back in Ronnie's day we didn't have a shot clock..but we did have the 4 corners...remember that exciting strategy.

 

[icantfindausernamethatisntused]

It's kind of weird to me that Aaron White is our program's #2 all time scorer, because our offense never really ran through Aaron White. He was not a great perimeter shooter, and he didn't get a lot of points posting up. Most of his offense came from offensive rebounds, transition, or back-door cuts to the basket.

It's really a testament to how good of a player White was that he was able to accumulate so many points without the offense being centered on him. He had incredible instincts which allowed him to "find" points within the offensive system.

yeah, see my post with the PPG listed; John Johnson, Freddy Brown, Sam Williams, Don Nelson all had incredible PPG averages

didn't Bobby Knight go into stall mode , too, when he got a 10 point lead?

Yeah I had to remind myself of him being that high. He also got to the FT line constantly which helped boost it.

 

[VicHawkeye]

The 4 Corners era was ugly and bad. Get a lead then sit on the ball for the rest of the game. It didn't even have to be a 10 point lead.

Yep, strong Iowa connection at North Dakota University (no longer the Fighting Sioux).

ROOTED IN IOWA

Several coaches and players have strong ties to the Hawkeye State starting with head coach Brian Jones, who played at Northern Iowa from 1990-94 and was an assistant coach at Iowa from 1999-2006, helping lead the Hawkeyes to three NCAA Tournament appearances.

Assistant coach Jeff Horner graduated from Mason City High School in 2002, then played at Iowa from 2002-06. Horner was a four-year starter for the Hawkeyes and capped his career by being named the 2006 Big Ten Tournament Most Outstanding Player. He is still Iowa’s all-time assist leader with 612 helpers.

Sophomores Cortez Seales and Marlon Stewart were teammates on the North Scott High School team that won its first Iowa Class 4A state title in 2015. The duo grew up together in Eldridge, Iowa, which is about a 45-minute drive from Iowa City.

Stewart transferred to UND this past offseason from Creighton and is sitting out the 2016-17 campaign. Freshman Billy Brown was third in Iowa Class 3A scoring last season averaging 21.7 ppg for Spirit Lake, which is on the western side of the state.

North Dakota also has older brother of Iowa freshman football player Amani Hoover.

Quinton Hooker is a terrific hoops guard. 1st player in ND history to have triple double

Don't forget, Aaron shot and made a ton of free throws.

The four corners "offense" was a scourge on college basketball, promoted and perfected by Dean Smith. I remember one game against Michigan St. in the Fieldhouse, where they came in holding the ball the entire first half. Don't remember the exact halftime score, but it was something like 25-4.

Very nice post. When I first started reading I was wondering if it would be pointed out that Freddy Brown, and J Johnson were only at Iowa for two years, and both would have averaged over 30 a game if the three ball was in effect. And as you stated, all the players in the older era's played less game. None of this diminishes what Pete is doing however.
I remember listening to games on the radio when Brown and Johnson played Crazy good on offense. Iowa went 14 and 0 in the BIG in 1970 and averaged over 100 points per game, I believe. And again that was before the 3 point shot.

 

[youcantguardme]

Offense seems to come naturally for Pete. His release is smooth and easy, almost always the same. He may break the single season record for scoring; what has impressed me over these last 3 games is his defense. The youngsters are taking their cue from PJ and when he plays defense they play defense. I think that his asthma probably has much to do with why defense is more difficult. It is more work for him to defend. But he is becoming a leader. He has the ability to take over a game. There are freshmen who are learning from him how to take over a game. Could Jok shoot us into a Big10 tourney championship? Brody Boyd did, so why not Jok?

JJ was the best scorer on a team of scorers.

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

JJ was the best scorer on a team of scorers.

Even more impressive considering his REB stats. Double double season average with his scoring.

If the 3 point line were in effect in 1970, imagine what the PPG for the players and the team would have been?

When I look at the career scoring list, I look more at PPG because its hard to compare when today's players are playing more games and the 3 point goal has changed everything

What is shocking to me is Don Nelson played just 72 games; Roy Marble? 134!!! Roy averaged 15.8 ppg x the 62 game difference = 980 points. All I can say is WOW!

How many 3's would Downtown Freddy Brown have made in his career, for example?

I can tell you, he and JJ would have averaged over 30 per game. They both had pretty solid careers in the league as well. With the Supersonics,Yes?

The shot clock has likewise made a huge difference in college scoring. One of Lester's games vs. Michigan State was 8-6 at halftime, as they simply held the ball the whole half to slow down the game.

 

[Franisdaman]

Jok now #20 on all time scoring list

If he keeps up his 22 ppg pace, assuming there are at least 15 games left (13 B1G reg season, 1 BTT, 1 NIT/Big Dance), that would give him 330 more points, putting him at 1,615 total, #9 all time
