per the STrib:
Hollins, who is averaging 15.9 points a game, has scored 1,059 career points — 933 short of Thompson’s record of 1,992, set from 1974-78 — with most of the Big Ten season this year and his entire senior season yet to play. (Voshon Lenard, who played from 1991-95, had 2,103 career points, but is officially credited with only 1,097 because of NCAA sanctions against the Gophers.)
In order to tie Thompson, Hollins would need to average 17.6 points per game from here out, assuming the Gophers play an average of 34 games each of the next two seasons, including postseason.
“So we need to get him like 18 [points per game] to beat it,” coach Richard Pitino said jokingly of the player who almost surely will compete at Minnesota for four years. “I think he can do it. … He’s a really competitive kid, he’s probably a much tougher kid than most people realize. One thousand points early in his junior year just says a lot about a great career.”
