I've watched a couple of Detroit Mercy's games. Davis is averaging 23 attempts with half coming from 3 in conference play. He's gone 30+ attempts in some games. It's nuts.
OT: Pistol Pete’s NCAA Records
- Thread starter Hawqize
- Start date
JBo played 35 more games than Jon Diebler. Not two full seasons.
Diebler played:
37 games
33 games
37 games
37 games
The people looking at these records (college basketball fans) are able to see them for what they are. We're the ones who discern all that and I imagine everyone will more or less still agree Pistol Pete is the all-time guy. Antoine Davis is a 5-year, 3-point mad man and deserves all the credit and accolades. It's also great for mid-major basketball.
JBO defnitely had more games than Diebler. What JBO did as a moderately athletic small PG with nearly zero midrange and dribble drive game was impressive. I do think JBO changed the culture of Iowa B-ball by making some game winning shots. Fran had an unbelievably bad record in close game up until JBO came along.
The NCAA record book has records for points and scoring average, the latter being the more impressive of the two, which Maravich will continue to own.
Which is exactly what I said in reference to Diebler. The almost two seasons was in regard to him ending up third on Iowa's all time scoring while many of those guys only played about three years and not 5 plus an extra 10 games......
I kind of wonder if we end up seeing 5th years become either standard or readily available. There are a lot of underclassmen, especially in football, that effectively are being screwed out of a year of playing time by guys older than them sticking around for an extra year.
Davis probably not gonna get the record tonight, but Detroit Mercy with the 3 pt lead AT 1 seed Youngstown State with 5 minutes to go.
Yep no three point shot Pistol would have 5000 points if they had 3 point shot so not fair to Pete rest in peace
The Pistol's record is safe.
Davis chucks a couple desperation looks that were flat as f*** and Youngstown State is gonna complete the comeback and survive.

30 second clock is of no consequence. Teams played run and gun. LSU averaged 75 shots per game back then. A lot of teams shot more then than they do now…
On top of the extra games he’s played, in comparison, Pete also played against upper classmen because at the time the NBA couldn’t draft underclassmen yet. Moses Malone changed the direction of college basketball in 1971 when he went directly from High School to the NBA.
A priority for God? Like he has a to do list when he wakes up every morning? Lulz
The covid year shit is dumb as hell. They guys who actually got fvcked out of the tourney didnt get a chance to come back.
Yeah but at least we had one senior that didn’t drop the ball when the world shut down. I think the internet has determined that this was legally binding.
Pete also averaged 38 shots a game. Think about that. There’s games where some teams don’t take more than 50 shots total now. And the SEC was barely integrated. I believe his LSU team was entirely white as was 98% of the conference. Great great player but a totally different game.
Got to give credit to Youngstown State. Game was effectively won, up 5 with less than 10 seconds to play, but they still played hard and didn't just give him the record. Made him work for it. It sucks for the young man to come so close and not make it. But I'm also glad it wasn't just given to him by the other team not playing defense.
Will now be interesting to see if one of the lesser tournaments gives them a bid just so the kid gets more games. They shouldn't be gifted a bid, but I could see someone thinking they'll get eyeballs watching the game.

Lol at people clamoring for asterisks. Every record might as well have an asterisk, right?
I guess, yeah.
It’s nice to compare the differences or advantages of each though. Some truly were gifted while others had talent and played forever.
Pete averaged 38 shots PER GAME!!! With his skills, I would think he easily could have take 1/3 of them as 3 ptrs. That would be about 18 made shots. So if 1/3 were threes, he would have at least 6 ppg more. Still a lot of points = 50 ppg.
Nothing negative towards this kid but I'm glad the record still stands,.. and I hope his season is over.
Just read the other day that he died in the arms of Dr. James Dobson playing pickup basketball.
I agree that I feel for those 2019-2020 seniors. I assume they made the 2020-2021 not count toward eligibility to entire students to play that season. At the time, some may have opted to sit out the year if there was a chance it would get started and then get shut down again, and they had wasted a year of eligibility.
If she plays the extra year, barring injury, she will break 4k with relative ease.
Excellent context littlez. Quite often people bring these things from the past up, and then they look at least a little different when you put some context behind them......
No not really, BUT your saying there's no difference between a guy playing in 100 games and a guy who plays in 160 some? Really? I mean records are great, but it would be nice for people looking at them in 50 years to have some actual context of just what their really looking at.....
I hope this doesn’t become the norm. Athletes graduating from high school in the last couple years have been screwed getting an opportunity to compete because the rosters are stuffed with 5th and 6th year guys who should have moved on by now. Just my opinion.
