I'll use this thread to see how close Mr. Buford gets to the all-time scoring record at Ohio State. Coming into the season Mr. Buford started 22nd on the list with 1,424 points and he was 672 points behind the great Dennis Hopson. That is about equivalent to the type of year Michael Redd had when he led the Buckeyes to the Final Four in 1999. Below is the list of everyone in front of him before the season started. I'll update this list as the games happen.
1. Dennis Hopson (1983-87) - 2,096
2. Herb Williams (1977-81) - 2,011
3. William Buford (2008-2012), Jerry Lucas (1959-62) - 1,990
5. Kelvin Ransey (1976-80) - 1,934
6. Michael Redd (1997-2000) - 1,879
7. Jim Jackson (1989-92) - 1,785
8. Jay Burson (1985-89) - 1,756
9. Dave Sorenson (1967-70) - 1,622
10. Perry Carter (1987-91) - 1,613
11. Robin Freeman (1953-56) - 1,597
12. Allan Hornyak (1970-73) - 1,572
13. Terence Dials (2001-06) 1,566
14. Jon Diebler (2007-11) - 1,536
15. Gary Bradds (1961-64) - 1,530
16. Tony Campbell (1980-84) - 1,529
17. Evan Turner (2007-10) - 1,517
18. Troy Taylor (1981-85) - 1,497
19. Jerry Francis (1985-89) - 1,486
20. David Lighty (2006-11) - 1,458
21. Bill Hosket (1965-68) - 1,441
22. Paul Ebert (1951-54) - 1,436
In order to get the record (673 points) William has to average:
31 games (regular season only) - 21.7 points
33 games (loss in first Big Ten conference tournament, loss in first round of post-season tournament) - 20.4 points
35 games - 19.2 points
37 games - 18.2 points
40 games (max possible... Big Ten conference tourney championship game, NCAA championship game) - 16.3 points
