College basketball players aren’t lacing up their Converses anymore.
Instead, there’s a battle of sorts between Nike, Adidas and Under Armour, to name a few as to what shoe players choose to wear.

Lace up the All-Stars and get buckets.
While Smith was at High Point, the Panthers averaged 73.6 points per game.
The highest scoring average for a single season across the country hasn’t been that high since reaching 74.2 points in 1995.
