On Nov. 20, 2012, former Grinnell College star Jack Taylor put together a stat sheet that would make Steph Curry gasp. He shot 71 3-pointers and made 27 of them.

He had 58 points. At halftime. In all, Taylor recorded 108 field goal attempts. (Wilt Chamberlain, when setting the NBA record with 100 points on March 2, 1962, recorded 63.) An opposing player, David Larson, scored 70 points.

Nobody remembers that, though.

That's because the 5-foot-10 guard finished the game, against Faith Baptist Bible College, with an NCAA-record 138 points.

Taylor's mother had traveled to the game -- in the middle of Iowa -- which took place two days before Thanksgiving.
