Bevo Francis was quite a phenom at 6'9" back in the early 1950s. My Dad took me to see him play Hillsdale College where he set the record that stood for 58 years until this young man demolished it.

I watched him on the news tonite. These were not dunks and layups like Wilt had in his 100 point game. These were jump shots, set shots, etc. He was being guarded tight and sometimes had two men on him. Swish swish swish. This was an amazing performance with an array of shots.

I hope the coach turns him loose the next game as well.

Here's more headlined as, "Even pros in awe of 138-pt game by 'Sir Jack'"

So the kid has a new name now...

The guy was draining them from the 3 point line.

BALL HOG!

30% shooting?
104 shots?

This is embarrassing!

I’ve looked at film footage of Francis (the little of it that exists), and he looks like he’d be formidable today.
