Best game by one player

[LikeWhoa20]

Name the single best game one of your players has had (or name a couple, if you can't narrow it to one :) ). Here are my two:

1. I created myself to be the starting PG at Columbia when I began my legacy. My main specialty is in dealing out dimes, but my pixeled-self can score when necessary too. In one game, I put it all together for the very rare DOUBLE-double-double: 21 points and 20 assists.

2. I just played this one. My sharpshooting backup SG, Daniel Trepanier, just had the single best individual shooting performance one of my players will ever have: 13-17 from 3 point range and a grand total of 41 points. I thought I had clearly set an NCAA record for 3's in one game, but as it turns out, the record is 15.

So what Hall of Fame individual performances have some of your players put up?

I was playing my brother head to head a few nights ago. He was the '98 UK team and I was the '96 team. Tony Delk went off for me, hitting about every 3 I could get him. I believe he ended up with 43 or so points. I ended up losing but Delk kept me in the game.

In year 2 or 3 (I forget) of my Stony Brook legacy, Ricky Lucas went off from behind the line. Him and a player for Vermont, Rob Schneider, were just trading 3 point baskets. It was the craziest thing I've seen....niether could miss.

In my last game of the season last year, my 6th man Jimmy Cowen went off for 27 against Texas in the Final Four. I needed every point, but could have used more. I lost, but he kept me in it up until 30 seconds or so were left.

Me n' Notredamedan played the Magic vs. Bird game. He (ISU) was winning by around 25 with 5 minutes left then Magic went on a tear and scored 20+ points and had round 5 assists with a couple steals and boards to get me back into it. I lost by 1.

[WhoUTestin]

Well I have only played 4 games so far, but my SG Roshaun Wooten went off to the tune of 32 points to ice the game for me against Belmont after my PG went cold from the floor.

[Chase56]

Ahhh, in year 12 or so I created the spawn of my son (edited the #1 player in the Country) and he was on UNC. National Title game, he had 52, on 10 for 13 3's. He was a 7 foot small forward.

[GOVols]

I'm only 8 Game into my Closed Legacy with Portland St. but I have a really good SG named Jake Schroeder, great 3 point shooter. He had 27pts. and 6 behind the arc against Howard.

sounds like dirk

No doubt.

My PG got 44 points on 15-22 shooting(7-10 from 3), 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 assists againsts NW St. as Sam Houston. Too bad as a team I only hit 21 shots.

[westsidetide]

There was a SG named Bruff from Belmont a couple of seasons ago in my dynasty that hung 57 points against me! I think he got off the bus shooting 3's!

I still won the game because they only scored like 70 points total, but man I was calling this guy every name in the book.

[volniac]

I just had a great overall game.

PG Armando Falls - 25 pts, 7-10 3PT FG
PG Bennie Bolton - 20 pts, 4 rbs, 7 ast

Team Overall - 116 Pts, 19-29 3PT FG

I was so hot, I couldn't stop myself from shooting the 3 ball. I murdered the bobo team I was playing by 63.

[dc86]

I'm North Carolina right now and just beat Maryland 90-68.

My center Sherman Ingerson scored 29 points on 13-21 shooting and had 22 rebounds. [wow]

[J Hall]

I just finished a game at #3 Boston College and my shooting guard, Dominic Shakur, went off for 33 points on 14/20 FG, 3/7 3pt. Now, the numbers are nice, but he is the reason I won the game. I struggled early to get baskets and maintain the small lead I had built up. Everytime I needed a basket, Shakur seemed to get me one. Especially at the end of the game, I was up about 10, BC was trying to come back, Shakur popped a 3 at the top of the key then followed that up with a drive to the lane, stop, pump fake, got the man in the air, jumped into him, foul and the shot was good. Up 16 down the stretch, sealed the win. I can't believe this guy is only rated an 82, feels like he should be so much better.

That's what I love most about this game. Ratings really don't mean that much. It's almost as if certain players on your team just have more heart than others, and thus, those are the guys that end up contributing the most to your program.

[J Hall]

Yea same here....the only thing that bothers me is he's rated so low, he might not make the nba. i really want to see how he plays in the next level up. he's 6'9'' around 220 and for a shooting guard, he is a difficult match up. he can dunk, shoot mid range and from the 3, handle the rock, pass....everything. his speed is also around 87 or so, which for a 6'9'' guy is crazy to me

In my 4th season, I finally recorded my first triple-double against Harvard. My point guard had this stat line:

21 points, 20 assists, 10 steals

Wow. That's an incredible game.

[LikeWhoa20]

Wow. That's an incredible game.
Yeah, it really was a crazy game. He got 9 layups off those steals, leading to the 21 points. As for the 20 assists, that's probably around the 10th time I've done that over the course of 4 seasons. It's not too hard to pull off when you run almost everything through your PG.

[GOVols]

I just had my SG go buck wild.

Logan Whitman, 42pts, 15/20 FG, 12/15 3 PT FG's.....


I was only up by about 7 with 5 minutes or so left.

Ended up winning, 83-58

[LikeWhoa20]

So because I'm graduating (I'm the starting PG for my Columbia squad) at the end of this season, I decided to run absolutely everything through myself in the last game of the regular season (against the worst team in the Ivy League no less), just to see what kind of numbers I could put up. As it turns out, I ended up setting an NCAA record.

30 points
28 assists (NCAA Record)
5 steals

Yeah I'd say that's a pretty solid performance. :p

[Hilbs]

Makan Hipsher just scored 43 pts, had 7 board, and had 10 steals in my USC dynasty in the first game of the 2023 season.

[J Hall]

Dominic Shakur, my 6'9'' senior shooting guard, just went off for 32 points against LSU. 32 points, 3 reb, 5 ast, stl, blk, 11/20 FG, 4/5 3pt, 6/6 FT. He had 20 in the first half which helped to give me a nice lead. I was up around 24 or so later in the second half. I started taking it easy and LSU came back, cutting it down to 12. I started feeding Shakur again and they never broke it into single digits. I'm going to miss his when he leaves.

[WhoUTestin]

With my second best player at PG Ingram not having a good day shooting the ball, I just fed the rock to my SG Roshaun Wooten and let him go to work. He finished with 38 points, 9 rebs, 8 assists, 3 blocks and 4 steals. We won by 8 in overtime after he sprained his knee early in the second half.

[dc86]

I just had a guy score a career high for one of my players. My small forward Keon Ravello scored 50 against Arizona, shooting 17-24 from the field, 8-10 from behind the 3 point line, and 8-8 on free throws. It helps that he's 7 feet tall and has a rating of 86 for three pointers.

[GOVols]

Some asswaude from Bradley just lit me up for 25pts. in the 1st half, and ended up with like 45.

Needless to say, they whiped my ass.

[J Hall]

Shakur just followed up his previous 32 point game against LSU with a 35 point game against Texas Tech. He was hitting everything....12/23 FG, 6/9 3pt. Tech kept running 2-3 zone which was a mistake. I was lighting them up from 3. As a team I went 15/25, giving me a 93-69 win. With them being #11 and me #20 I was expecting a close game....it wasn't.

[wvfan14]

I've had my PG play many good games with triple-doubles and such, but one stood out:

It was his Senior season and we were playing Gonzaga in the NC. We were down at halftime, 54 to 20-something. My PG single-handedly brought us back and shutdown Gonzaga's 3-point attack. With 5 seconds left, they were inbounding, and we were down 2 points. My point guard was trying to cover both guys, and was running back and forth. Right when he ran to one of the guys that was on the edge near the sideline the guy threw it to him. My PG was right there and stole it in less than a second, then immediately threw down a 3-pointer to seal the win, all in one swift motion.

[J Hall]

that must have been exciting

[wvfan14]

that must have been exciting

Yeah, and it was his senior year so WV didn't have Pittsnogle, Gansey, ect. and I hadn't done that well in recruiting, so it was all him.

[TarHeel2412]

My JV High School coach, Craig Dawson, hit 11 threes in a game against Clemson, (played for Wake), and i believe that ties the ACC record

[Wufpack]

I remember Craig Dawson, he was a great 3 point shooter. What school do you go to, Heel?

[J Hall]

Just finished an overtime game against Texas Tech (me at home). Jimmy Cowen, my lone Senior, standing 6'10'' with an overall rating of 87, really came through for me. I believe he had somewhere around 2-4 points the first half. I was trailing by 9 coming out of the locker room (at one point trailing by 16).

2nd half starts and Cowen goes off...scores 10 straight points for me. Layups, jumpers, and-1's, etc. It was great. He single handedly got me back into the game.

It went to overtime, tied at 72 (I think, 72 or 75) and Cowen kept up the hot streak. We won by 8, with Cowen leading the way with one of the better all-around games I've ever seen. 27 pts, 13 rebs, 7 asts, 2 stls, blk, 10/19 fg, and 7/7 ft.

What a great game....now it's time to sim my conference schedule. America East Conf. sucks!

[J Hall]

Wow. Jimmy Cowen does it again. Just...wow.

Sweet Sixteen matchup, Stony Brook (#2, me) vs Missouri (#3). We both come out, hitting everything, them more so than me. Cowen hit probably 3 straight 3's early and usually when he's hitting, my team plays really well.

I go into halftime, down 5 I believe, thanks to Cowen keeping me in the game. He's tired so I start my backup SF for the 2nd half, trying to get him some rest (Cowen's FAT. rating isn't that high). Mizzou starts pulling away, going up around 11 at one point. I get Cowen back in and he's basically the only one hitting shots. I manage to get back into the game with around 10 minutes to go in the 2nd half. Back and forth action, with niether team up by more than about 5 at any point. Towards the end I'm down 7, but Cowen gets me back into it. Hitting layups, dunks, and-1's, getting to the line, 3's....it was crazy.

Less than a minute to go and I'm down 1, Cowen gets it, manages to get open, drives to the basket, hits the layup in traffic, leaving about 10 seconds or so left on the clock, me up 1. They come down, I hold, get the rebound and win! Onto the Elite 8!

Jimmy Cowen ended up with 43 points (And I needed every one of them), 3 rebs, 3 ast, 2 blks, 16/25 (64%) FG, 7/8 (87.5%) 3pt, 4/4 FT

What a game....
