The last time Purdue had 100 points against 2 conference opponents…
- Thread starter boilerzz
- Start date
D@mn, that was without a shot clock or 3 point line.
Was that Walter Jordan , Wayne Walls and crew ?
They were freshman with John Garrett, Bruce Parkinson, Eugene Parker, and Tom Scheffler.
That Fred Schaus coached team actually hit the century mark FIVE times, three in conference (Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota) with Ball State and Western Kentucky in the non-conference. They gave up 100+ twice, at Indiana and in the second round NIT game to end the season.
That was before my time. But it must have been an entertaining season!
Early that 1974-75 season, freshmen Jordan, Walls, Parker and Michael White with Dick Satterfield were subbed into games like a hockey shift, called “The Soul Patrol.” That team averaged 84.3 ppg, actually a dropoff from the previous year’s NIT champs with Frank Kendrick, who averaged 87.4.
The 1969 Final Four team, Rick Mount’s junior year with Billy Keller and Herm Gilliam, topped 100 only six times but averaged 93.0 ppg, our school record. Mount’s 1970 team topped 100 eight times but got dropped to an 89.0 season average after Minnesota “stalled” in the finale – no shot clocks – for a 48-44 Purdue win. As a senior in Big Ten play, Mount averaged 39.4 by himself. That’s points, not minutes.
