RT @ESPNStatsInfo: Grinnell's Jack Taylor took a shot once every 20 seconds. In his 81-point game, Kobe Bryant shot once every 73 secondsMarc Stein
If it's at all possible, Taylor's ridiculous scoring outburst wasn't all that unexpected. Sure, the 138 points is mind-blowing, but if it were to happen anywhere, it'd be the small Iowa school. Grinnell's head coach, Arseneault,
institutes a very (very, very) up-tempo offense . In fact,
Arseneault's system "explicitly requires his team to shoot at least 94 field goals per game, 47 of which should be three-pointers," according to ESPN.com's Eamonn Brennan. And just last season,
another Grinnell player set the previous Division III single-game mark of 89 points.

NBA players noticed Taylor's night, too. Kobe Bryant said of Taylor's feat, "You gotta be in shape, and you gotta have a little Mamba blood in you." Carmelo Anthony jokingly added that next time he gets heat for shooting the ball too much, he'll reply that "someone shot it 108 times." And Kevin Durant congratulated Taylor on Twitter, prompting the 5-10 overnight star to create his own account in order to respond.
