West Liberty Men's Basketball Dropped 162-Point Game

West Liberty Men's Basketball Dropped 162-Point Game

West Liberty Men's Basketball had a 162-Point game and other outrageous performances on the hardwood across all three NCAA divisions from this past week.

West Liberty Men's Basketball Dropped 162-Point Game

We waited until the year’s final edition of Video Game Numbers to break with tradition.

This week — as Division I teams either wrap up the regular season or start conference tournaments, Division II teams are in the thick of league postseasons and the Division III Tournament brackets have already been decided — will be the final edition of Video Game Numbers posted this college basketball season, and for those of you who tuned in weekly to catch the best and wildest of the sport from the week prior, we at FloCollege thank you for reading.

With that, we’re ending this year’s series on a high note by featuring a team nominee for the first time, plus five other deserving individuals showing off greatness as seasons are firmly on the line in college hoops. 

Here’s a look back at some of the most outrageous performances on the hardwood across all three NCAA divisions from this past week:

NOTE: Stats are for the week from Feb. 24-March 2

Men's College Basketball Stats

Division I: Izaiyah Nelson, F, Arkansas State

The last thing that you want to do in March is play a team that has a point to prove. Arkansas State — and, by extension, Nelson — is that team as the Sun Belt Conference Tournament tips off Tuesday night.

The Red Wolves finished with the joint-best record in the SBC with a 13-5 mark along with the most overall wins (22) of any team in the league. Surely that means that they were at least close to the conference’s outright regular-season title, right? Nope, only a share, and in fact, Arkansas State is the No. 4 seed for the SBC Tournament after a whole bunch of tiebreaker scenarios were sorted out.

Teams seeded ahead of the Red Wolves (South Alabama, Troy and James Madison) may have won the regular-season battles, but if Nelson stretches his run of incredible form into the postseason, it’s hard to see Arkansas State not winning the war.

Nelson’s nuts week started last Wednesday in a win at Louisiana when he scored a season-high 30 points, which was impressive enough as he shot 9 for 14 from the field and 12 for 14 from the free throw line, but then he added 21 rebounds (including 10 on the offensive end alone) on top of it for just the second 30-20 game recorded in D-I this season and the only one against a D-I opponent.

He then had a comparatively-light 13 points two nights later in another ASU victory at Louisiana-Monroe but didn’t slow his roll on the boards, bringing down 19 rebounds to up his average in the past five games going into the conference tournament to 17.4 boards per night. Not a bad close to the regular season for a guy with season averages of 10 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.


Division II: The Entire West Liberty Men’s Basketball Team

Is this cheating? Yeah, maybe a little bit. But would we really be doing the title of “Video Game Numbers” justice if we just ignored West Liberty’s 162-point game that it put on Salem last Wednesday?

There wasn’t really one true standalone, standout performance by the Hilltoppers on that historic evening against the D-II independent Tigers, but rather a whole bunch of them that combined into one wild night for one of the best teams in the country and now eight times running Mountain East Conference regular-season champions.

The third highest-scoring team in D-II broke school records for points and assists (44) that night as nine players in all had double-digit point totals, with John Dragas leading the team with 29 as the Hilltoppers already had 74 points by halftime — then proceeded to score 88 more in the second half. West Liberty as a whole drained 27 3-pointers, shot 56 for 86 (65.1%) from the field, forced the Tigers to commit 25 turnovers and only had eight turnovers of its own, the latter stat of which is an incredible number considering the amount of assists that the Hilltoppers had.

No stranger to the spotlight, West Liberty (25-3 overall as of this writing) made the D-II national championship game in 2023 and it’d be no surprise if the Hilltoppers made it to that point once again this time around. After all, what offense can compete with a 162-point night scored by their opponent?


Division III: Reed Kemp, G, Maryville

Already averaging nearly 24 points per game prior to his monster six-game stretch to close the season that contributes to him getting kudos on this week’s edition of Video Game Numbers, Kemp was unable to lead the Scots to the NCAA Tournament despite a 21-6 overall record and an 11-1 mark in the Collegiate Conference of the South, but the people who watched him have a heroic CCS Tournament this past week won’t be forgetting his efforts anytime soon.

To start things off in the CCS semifinals against Asbury last Friday night, Kemp scored 31 points with four rebounds and four assists — getting to the foul line and making his chances at the charity stripe with a perfect 10 for 10 mark along the way — and simultaneously broke Maryville’s 53-year-old school record for points in a single season. 

Looking to snap a six-year NCAA tourney drought, the Scots did not pull off a CCS Tournament triumph as Huntingdon clinched its first-ever trip to the D-III Big Dance with a wild 93-92 win in the title game Saturday, but Kemp’s efforts weren’t the reason why Maryville came up just short. 

With three Scots starters out injured, Kemp put up a season-high 44 points in his final collegiate game, scoring the most points by a Maryville player in one night since 1977 as he heroically tried to push his team past the finish line. Maryville won’t be playing in the NCAA Tournament, but they do have a new name holding the top spot among its single-season scoring chart — and a spot in Video Game Numbers lore.

Women's College Basketball Stats

Division I: Kishyah Anderson, G/F, Presbyterian

Stats like what Anderson put up this past week for Presbyterian are what Video Game Numbers is all about, because unless you’re a fan of the Blue Hose (who finished second-to-last in their league) or Big South Conference women’s basketball, it’s probably unlikely that you would’ve heard about what she did — and she absolutely deserves some recognition this week.

First things first, last Wednesday against UNC Asheville, Anderson tied her season high with 27 points to go along with five rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks as the offseason junior college transfer stuffed the stat sheet in a PC defeat. 

 Then, she proceeded to follow that up with something even better Saturday at Gardner-Webb. Though the Blue Hose didn’t have much to play for as they were already locked into the No. 8 seed at the Big South tourney, that didn’t deter Anderson as she dropped 40 points with 18 made field goals on the Runnin’ Bulldogs out of nowhere, notching a single-game school record (in PC’s D-I era) and scoring almost half of Presbyterian’s points in a 91-81 loss.

If Anderson keeps up the scoring pace into the conference tournament and leads her team to a bit of a Cinderella run this week, the Blue Hose might start to become appointment viewing.


Division II: Sable Burnside, G/F, UVA Wise

The Cavaliers did not make the cut for the South Atlantic Conference Championship (to be streamed all of this week live on FloCollege, if you’re so inclined), missing out on a top-eight spot in the regular season needed to make it to Rock Hill. That all didn’t stop Burnside from putting up the performance of her life last Wednesday at Tusculum, an 88-73 UVA Wise win.

Sinking a school-record 17 field goals (also the second-most ever in a SAC game) as she powered her way to 41 points, Burnside had a night for the ages in her penultimate game of her career as she also brought down 10 rebounds for a giant double-double, even finding the time for five steals and four 3-pointers for good measure, too.

Burnside’s career officially came to a close in the Cavaliers’ loss Saturday night at Catawba, but she’ll always have a 40-piece on her resume to talk about for years to come — which also doubled as the third game of at least 30 points or more this season for one of the SAC’s top offensive weapons.


Division III: Rhe Nae Leach, G, Whittier

Cal Lutheran’s win over the Poets’ in their championship-game clash at the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament last Saturday ended hopes of a Leach appearance at the NCAA Tournament as Whittier failed to gain the SCIAC’s automatic bid and did not earn an at-large selection despite a regular-season conference title. 

Still, Leach closed out her spectacular 2025 campaign on a high note last week, especially in the Poets’ tournament semifinal victory last Thursday against Pomona-Pitzer.

The SCIAC’s Offensive Athlete of the Year, Leach — who was the ringleader in getting Whittier its first regular-season conference title since 1986 — finished the regular season as the league’s leading scorer and in the top five conference-wide in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. Against the Sagehens in her postseason opener, however, she had a single-game outburst that was spectacular even by her standards, narrowly missing out on a triple-double with 31 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.

Leach went 11 for 17 from the field in that game and was also a menace on the defensive end, picking up five steals as she and the top-seeded Poets celebrated their SCIAC title in style with a big semifinal victory. The party was short-lived as the No. 2-seeded Regals took the title game over Whittier and the SCIAC auto-berth with it, but although the ending was a bit sour, it was overall a historic season for the Poets led by an all-time great player in their program’s history.
