Haarms is now 1 of only 3 guys to put up 21+ points on a perfect shooting night this season against a P5-level opponent if I executed the sports-reference search correctly. He did it with the most makes: 12 (8 FGs & 4 FTs).

The list:
Haarms (vs Illinois): 21 pts (8-8 FG, 4-4 FT)
Joe Wieskamp (Iowa vs Illinois): 24 pts (8-8 FG, 2-2 FT)
Andrew Nembhard (Florida vs Alabama): 21 pts (9-9 FG, 1-1 FT)
 
Not that I watch a lot of postgame interviews/press conferences of other teams, but I notice our guys pay very close attention to stats (not their own, but as a team). Matt Haarms studying it prior to his interview. It's pretty clear they look at what is and isn't working.
