Who holds the NCAA record for scoring the most points in a college basketball game?

On November 20, 2012, Jack Taylor of Grinnell College, in a 179–104 win over Faith Baptist Bible College, scored 138 points, setting the NCAA record for most points by an individual player in a game. He played 36 minutes and shot 52-of-108 from the field, 27-of-71 from 3-point range, and 7-of-10 from the free throw line. The 108 attempts were an average of three shots per minute. Taylor scored 58 points in the first half and 80 in the second; he was only 9 of 32 three pointers in the first half before making 18 of 39 three pointers in the second half, including seven consecutive in 1 minute 57 seconds. During one stretch, he scored a Division III-record 28 consecutive points. He also set NCAA single game records for most three point field goals, three point field goals attempted, field goals, and field goals attempted. His 80 points in a half were also a record.

Clarence Francis scored 113 points for Rio Grande College in a game against Hillsdale College in 1954. He had scored 116 points in 1953 against Ashland College but it was thrown out as a record because Ashland was not a 4 year institution.

Frank Silvy scored 100 points for Furman College in a game against Newberry College in 1954.

Wilt Chamberlain's highest college score was 52 points for Kansas against Northwestern in 1956. He did, however, score 100 points in a single game (current NBA record) in 1962 as a professional player for the Philadelphia 76ers.
