Buddy Boeheim's 30 Points Were Rather Rare

Buddy Boeheim notched his third career 30 point game the other night in the win over Wake Forest. Boeheim’s shooting effort had an anomaly as he took no free throw attempts on his way to thirty.

Only four Orange basketball players have ever scored 30+ points with no free throws attempted. The last time was 52 years ago in 1970 when Bob McDaniel scored 36 points on 18 made field goals in 23 attempts.

Carl Vernick accomplished the feat in December 1961 against Detroit when he made 15 field goals for 30 points.
