This is what you get. Not only did this guy have 5 years to break the record, he feels his team should have been invited to the CBI tournament despite a losing record, just so he could break the record!! Then he screams conspiracy theory on why they didn't get invited.
Pistol Pete only played 88 games, this guy played 144. There is no comparison, he just comes off looking like a loser

its not a big deal because he took almost 2x as many games to score less points. 88 games to 144 and he had 2 extra years with his 5th year... Pistol Pete was only allowed to play 3 years due to Freshman not being eligible back then.
This season Antoine Davis averaged over 22 shots per game, took more shots than their 3 top other starters combined, and had a lower FG% than all 3 of them at 41%.. (Which is a lower FG% than Maravich ever shot, although Maravich wasn't shooting threes).. Davis did shoot 41% from 3 though and over 90% from the foul line. Admittedly I've never watched him play, so I don't really know how good he really is.
People who use the more games less game argument are really distorting the picture here.I saw a stat on social media. Not sure if it is entirely accurate. Something like this:
Pete set his record in 81 (maybe remember wrong number here) games for his career. If you took the top 81 individual scoring games across all of college basketball this year it still would be a significant gap to catch him.

Pete took nearly 40 shot attempts a game. Someone mentioned Davis shooting 41% and more shots than the next 3 players. Pete shot 44% and took as many shots as the rest of his entire team!
People are alluding to Davis being selfish meanwhile he took less shots than Maravich even though he played 56 more games.
Not a referendum on anything here but some perspective is needed.
There are a lot of players that if given the green light to take 40 shots a game would shatter this record.
Valid points.. But I wasn't saying or implying that Davis was selfish, I was just pointing out that he took a very high amount of shots relative to the rest of his team, which obviously affected the high amount of points he scored. I never meant to suggest that the same thing didn't apply to Maravich.People who use the more games less game argument are really distorting the picture here.

Uh Wilt? Kareem says hi.I heard about this kid a couple weeks ago when he was going for the record.
Found it really weird that basically nobody was talking about it.
I'm not big in CBB records but this seemed it should have been a bigger deal (for example LeBron passing Wilt was widely discussed and even bet on).
Bingo.I‘m understandably confused when people my age gripe about the “everybody gets a trophy“ generations. Especially since we were the generation awarding the trophies.
Bingo.
WRONG
Somehow I think there were good defenders in the SEC.Pistol Pete never was guarded by Caleb.
He didn’t have the distractions of social media
Didn’t have to grow up watching Dora the Explorer
And yet there were people in this same group that wanted a banner for the 2020 season as credit for a likely NCAA bid, or a banner for the 2021 season that would have been more than the norm.
Earned a tournament spot, not made the tournament that was cancelled.I wasn't one of them. I find it rather annoying when people say we made the tournament in 2020.

What school district? My kids District has a parent portal. All grades are posted after each assignment so we see the grades probably faster than my parents saw my grades many years ago. Also kids are split up by AP, Honors, Level 1 and Level 2. Similar to how we did it as kids.The modern day trophy era stuff is much more applicable to school philosophy rather than sport.
Back in my day, all tests were sent home with a grade on them. School classes were split based on ability so that teachers would have a group of kids all learning at around the same speed in their classes. Now a days, this philosophy has been scrapped. My 3rd graders rarely bring home papers with actual grades on them. And classrooms are deliberately split randomly with learners at all levels in each class so nobody feels bad.
If anything sport has gone entirely in the other direction in NJ. Travel sports are extremely competitive. More kids do not make the town teams than make it. And there’s no guarantee year over year that your kid will have a slot on the team next year either. Highly competitive starting at age 7. Parents paying through the nose for private lessons and year long AAU clubs to keep up with the pack.
