Pete Maravich holds the all-time NCAA Division I men’s scoring record with 3,667 points and a 44.2 points-per-game average over three seasons at LSU, despite no three-point line or shot clock—many consider these unbreakable given the era’s constraints. His single-game mark of 30 made free throws (30-of-31 vs. Oregon State on Dec. 22, 1969) remains tied but never surpassed. While some single-season totals like his 1,381 points in 1969–70 have been topped by modern scorers, and Antoine Davis nearly matched his career average in 2023, Maravich’s volume in fewer games (83 total) and pure artistry keep him atop most “greatest college player” debates.#PistolPete, #PeteMaravich, #LSUBasketball, #CollegeBasketball, #NCAARecords, #GreatestCollegePlayer, #30FreeThrows, #OregonState1969, #BasketballHistory, #DailySportsHistory, #PistolPeteRecord, #LSUTigers, #NCAALegends, #ScoringKing, #BasketballGOATListen now! 👉 DailySportsHistory.com 📲 Follow for more daily sports history insights!
