Best Answer

Pete Maravich is still the all-time leading NCAA scorer, averaging a staggering 44.2 points per game, without the benefit of a three-point line and despite the fact that when Pete was in his first year of college, the NCAA had separate freshmen and varsity Basketball teams and freshmen were not allowed to play on the varsity team. It was calculated by LSU coach Dale Brown that Maravich would have averaged 57 points per game with the benefit of a college three-point line. Notably, his 3,667 points don't factor in the 741 he scored his freshman year, or the fact that they played without a three-point line. * The Sporting News College Player of the Year (1970) * USBWA College Player of the Year (1969, 1970) * Naismith Award Winner (1970) * The Sporting News All-America First Team (1968, 1969, 1970) * Three-time AP and UPI First-Team All-America (1968, 1969, 1970) * Holds NCAA career record for most points (3,667, 44.2 ppg, three-year career) in 83 games * Holds NCAA career record for highest points per game average (44.2 ppg) * Holds NCAA record for most field goals made (1,387) and attempted (3,166) * Holds NCAA record for most free throws made (893) and attempted (1,152) * Holds NCAA record for most games scoring at least 50 points (28) * Holds NCAA single-season record for most points (1,381) and highest per game average (44.5 ppg) in 1970 * Holds NCAA single-season record for most field goals made (522) and attempted (1,168) in 1970 * Holds NCAA single-season record for most games scoring at least 50 points (10) in 1970 * Holds NCAA single-game record for most free throws made (30 of 31) against Oregon State on Dec. 22, 1969 * Led the NCAA Division I in scoring with 43.8 ppg (1968); 44.2 (1969) and 44.5 ppg (1970) * Averaged 43.6 ppg on the LSU freshman team (1967) * Scored a career-high 69 points vs. Alabama (Feb. 7, 1970); 66 vs. Tulane (Feb. 10, 1969); 64 vs. Kentucky (Feb. 21, 1970); 61 vs. Vanderbilt (Dec. 11, 1969); * Holds LSU records for most field goals in a game (26) against Vanderbilt on Jan. 29, 1969 and attempted (57) against Vanderbilt * All-Southeastern Conference (1968, 1969, 1970) * In 1988, Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer signed legislation changing the official name of LSU's home court to the Maravich Assembly Center * #23 Jersey retired by LSU (2007) * One of only 4 players to have his number retired by a team he never played for (New Orleans Hornets) * In 1970, Maravich led LSU to a 20-8 record and a third place finish in the NIT
