King Within 38 of Abramovic's Record

Morvis Harvey's King Stood within 38 points today of the national single season basketball scoring mark. The race centers on a 777 point single season record set by Sohin Abramovic of Salem College in 1942. Harvey's 75-60 loss to West Virginia Tech yesterday left him within striking distance with two regular season games and possible postseason play remaining. DeLong of River Falls appears ahead in the four year scoring race with 22,448 points in 87 games, while DeLong may eye the all time four year record as well. The Wisconsin ace leads in the four year totals but faces competition from DeLong and King for the single season mark as more games loom.
