Grinnell Guard breaks Assists Record
Division III Grinnell College point guard David Arsenault broke the NCAA assists record in a game by tallying 34 of them in a 151-112 win Saturday.
34 assists in a game. I don’t think I passed the ball 34 times in entire seasons before let alone in one game. It was tallied that he actually passed the ball 86 times in the game. Grinnell is famous in Division III and Iowa for their unique style of play. They play as fast as they can and shoot as many three pointers as possible. They continually press the opposing team and shift out players every 5 minutes.
Arsenault, the coaches son, was still able to score 22 points but could’ve had more assists than he did. The team was only 23-86 from the 3 point line for the game. Yes, I said 86 attempts for the game behind the line. Wouldn’t that be a dream offense to play in?
