Given the way college basketball has evolved, is it unreasonable to think Lawrence Moten's school scoring record is untouchable?
As a freshman, Malachi Richardson averaged 13.4 points per game. Then after that one season he left for the NBA.
Now let's take a guy like John Wallace. Wallace averaged 11.1 points per game as a freshman. Wallace would stay at Syracuse for four years, eventually becoming the team's star player and leading scorer, averaging 15.0 PPG as a sophomore, 16.8 PPG as a junior and 22.2 PPG as a senior. Wallace finished his Syracuse career with 2,119 points, good for third all-time behind Derrick Coleman (2,143) and Lawrence Moten (2,334).
