Cleary is definitely an offensive machine.
I noticed #13 on the list played back in 77-81. Can't recall exactly when the 3-point shot came in to collegiate basketball, but I believe that was prior to that. If so, and accomplished playing just 64 games, he must have been quite a player.

Colleges first used it in 1986-87. Bob Knight was opposed to it but Indiana won D1 that year.

Minnesota high schools starting using it in 1987-88. The first three pointer for Nicollet girls was in a winning. opener at Madelia when Jennifer Rodning made one at the buzzer.

Amazing that cleary on pace to make around 500 free throws in his career. Significantly more than anyone else on list. Not sure what to think about that one way or another.

Lewis was for real. So was the Cat!

[MStateMaverick]

Agree. You have to wonder what some of the players from back then would have done had they had access to the three-point shot.

Les Wothke predicted at the time Lewis was going to play in the NBA. Never happened of course but the Big Cat did get drafted by the Atlanta Hawks. Lot more rounds in those days though.

Well actually, Dan Jansen made 585, Casey Schilling 511, and Casey's older brother made 500.

I obviously misread the statistics.
