Before the Baltimore Bullets selected him as the No. 1 pick in the 1954 NBA draft, Frank Selvy made history by scoring the most points in an NCAA Division I men’s basketball game<\/a>. The former Furman guard and two-time NCAA scoring champion racked up 100 points in a 149-95 rout of Newberry College on Feb. 13, 1954.<\/p>\n

Selvy went 41-for-66 from the field, made 18 of his 22 free throw attempts and added 13 rebounds in the blowout victory. While Selvy’s 100-point game remains a Division I record, it came against a Division II program.<\/p>\n

In November 2025, Duke<\/a> forward Cameron Boozer<\/a> scored 35 points for the Blue Devils<\/a> in their 100-62<\/a> victory over Indiana State<\/a>. His performance tied the second-most points in a game for a Duke freshman, behind only Cooper Flagg’<\/a>s 42 during the 2024-25 season against Notre Dame<\/a>.<\/p>\n
