    Frank Selvy’s 100 Points: The Greatest Scoring Night in NCAA History

    On February 13, 1954, Furman’s Frank Selvy did the unthinkable: he scored 100 points in a single NCAA Division I game, leading the Paladins to a 149–95 blowout win over Newberry College inside Greenville’s historic Textile Hall. In an era with no three-point line, Selvy poured in 41 field goals and 18 free throws, finishing with exactly 100 thanks to a legendary long-range buzzer-beater.In this episode, we dive deep into the story behind college basketball’s most unbreakable scoring record. We trace Selvy’s journey from a hard-edged mountain kid in Kentucky to a scoring machine at Furman, then drop you courtside on “Frank Selvy Night,” the first live televised college game in South Carolina. You’ll hear how his coach and teammates decided to feed him the ball all night, how Newberry tried—and failed—to slow him down, and how the crowd reacted as the point total climbed into the stratosphere.We’ll walk through the game quarter by quarter: the early hot hand, the third-quarter grind, and the fourth-quarter avalanche that turned a routine conference matchup into basketball mythology. Then we follow Selvy into the pros, his time as the No. 1 overall pick, his years with the Lakers alongside Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, and the famous NBA Finals shot he narrowly missed that still haunts barstool debates.Finally, we explore why Selvy’s 100-point night still matters today. We break down why this record has stood for decades, how it compares to Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 in the NBA, and what it tells us about volume scoring, opportunity, and the changing nature of college basketball.Whether you’re a college hoops diehard, a Furman fan, or a sports history junkie, this episode brings the greatest scoring outburst in NCAA history to life, possession by possession.
