Some interesting stats regarding this:

Coleman never scored 30 in a game in his Syracuse career.

Shumpert has more 30 pt games (7), than Moten (6). Bing (20) has the most ever. Mike Lee (3) surprisingly had more than Jimmy Lee (0).

30 in an NCAA game: Buddy, Wesley, GMAC, Melo, Wallace, Autry, Rony, RHackett.

The 40 point crowd is a weird mix- Bing (3),Smith (2) Waldron, GMAC, Gillon, AWhite.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Coleman for all of his sheer brilliance ever led an SU team in scoring.

Nope.

Name the 8 players to score more than 700 points in a given season….and the only one to break 800.

Try not to look it up!

Wallace (800)
Owens
Melo
Battle
Bing
Shumpert (shout to a deep NIT run and playing a ton of games at 20 ppg)

Those would be the ones I’m pretty sure of.

The other one…man, I’d have to guess Sherman in 89? Or maybe Warrick in 05? Sherm more games, but Warrick more PPG. Thinking Moten and Johnson didn’t play enough games. Basically gotta be 19-20 ppg and play a lot of games to get that many points, or be one of those rare 22+ ppg guys.

Total of 9. 8 are in the 700s 1 hit 800.

You’re top 6 are all correct. Including JW as the 800 point guy.

3 more to hit 700…

I'm thinking Hak.

Maybe Ty Battle (not sure on that one)?

I don't even have a guess for a 3rd...

Warrick as a senior is one.

Don't know about the other two; a few of SU's top career scorers played too few games a year but were models of consistency over all four. So maybe we're looking for short-career guys who scored a lot, like Bill Smith?

Hak is one. Battle already mentioned. The last two are 70s players.
