Muffet's Irish Put 128 Pts. on Mercer Last Night!



The #3 ranked Fighting Irish had a RECORD SETTING night in Atlanta against Mercer -- scoring 128 points! It was the first appearance for one of Muffet's teams in 15 years in the state of Georgia.  I'm guessing they might not want to wait so long next time!  Here are the records the Irish set last night:
  • Most points in the first half:  72 points  (Irish led 72 - 30 at half)
  • Most points in a game:  128 points  (previous record was 113) 
  • Most points in one half:  72 points 
  • Largest margin of victory:  86 points
  • Highest Field Goal Percentage:  70.2%  (tied the previous record)
  • Most free throws made:  43
  • Most free throws attempted:  52

Note:  The 128 points is the 17th most scored in one game ALL-TIME in NCAA history.  The 72 points scored in the first half are the 8th most scored ALL-TIME in NCAA history.  It's the most points scored in a game this season in women's college basketball.
