Dick Vitale and Gus Johnson might have run out of things to say about Jack Taylor of Division III school Grinnell College, who rewrote the NCAA record book by scoring 138 points in his team's 179-104 win over Faith Baptist Bible on Tuesday night in Iowa. Twitter and SportsNation were buzzing over the feat and some of the jaw-dropping statistics connected to Taylor's night, including his 108 shots and zero assists, and the 70 points Faith Baptist Bible's David Larson scored on 34-for-44 shooting.

SportsNation:
- zach27730: "I'm 100% more impressed with the number of shots taken. I wouldn't have be able to lift my arms for a week if I took 108 shots in a game."
- Skauboy: "I've seen this movie before. Yeah I remember it vividly. It was called Teen Wolf."
- DCLawrence911: "I dont always shoot 100 shots, but when I do I score 138 points. Keep shooting my friends."
- Crackerjack978: "Dammit! I left him on the bench on my DIII fantasy basketball team."
- tobiasfunke12: "In other news, the Grinnell men's basketball team set a record for repeating the phrase "Dude, right here, I'm open" over 108 times in a single game...."
- robertloggia19: "The Big 10 is looking to add Grinnell."
- ReyesMVP7: "You could definitely make the case that 34-44 and 70 pts. is a more impressive showing than 52-108 for 138 points. At that clip...if the other kid took 108 shots he would have scored about 175 points."
