Central Michigan’s Marcus Keene recorded the first 50-point game in NCAA Division I play in the last four years a little over a month ago, making it rain with 10 three-pointers to give the team a 101-92 win over Miami of Ohio.
It’s just shy of four years since the last 50-point game, that being South Dakota State’s Nate Wolters with 53 on February 7, 2013.
At 12-7 overall but just 2-4 in conference play, the Chippewas didn’t make the NCAA field, but Keene is electrifying to watch. He was 15-of-23 from the field, 10-of-15 from the three-point line, and 10-of-10 from the field, finding time for two rebounds, four assists, and three steals.
