Statistics Change Shows PLU's McDaniels Set Record in UPS Game

Scott McDaniels, a senior post from Sammamish (Eastlake HS), set a new Pacific Lutheran University men's basketball record with 18 field goals (in 24 attempts) in Pacific Lutheran's 125-116 double-overtime loss to Puget Sound on Tuesday night at Memorial Fieldhouse.

McDaniels' total broke the former record of 17 field goals set by Dan Gibbs against Whitworth on Jan. 25, 1986. McDaniels finished the game with 41 points, tied for 4th on the all-time PLU men's basketball single-game scoring list with PLU Hall of Fame members Chuck Curtis and Tom Whalen.

McDaniels' record-setting performance wasn't official until Thursday, two days following the game. After the Tuesday night contest, the statistics sheet showed McDaniels with 37 points on 16 field goals. A review of game film and a check of the official scorebook showed that two field goals previously given to PLU's Jared Brandeberry, who wears No. 31, should have gone to McDaniels, who wears No. 32.

In addition to McDaniels' record, two Pacific Lutheran single-game scoring records were broken. Puget Sound and PLU combined for 241 points, erasing the former record of 234 set in 2001 when Linfield defeated PLU, 119-115, in overtime. With 116 points, the Lutes also set a record for most points scored in a losing cause.
