Before the Baltimore Bullets selected him as the No. 1 pick in the 1954 NBA draft, Frank Selvy made history by scoring the most points in an NCAA Division I men's basketball game. The former Furman guard and two-time NCAA scoring champion racked up 100 points in a 149-95 rout of Newberry College on Feb. 13, 1954.

Selvy went 41-for-66 from the field, made 18 of his 22 free throw attempts and added 13 rebounds in the blowout victory.

While Selvy's 100-point game remains a Division I record, it came against a Division II program. Here's a look at the players with the highest-scoring games in Division I men's basketball against fellow D-I opponents:

Kevin Bradshaw (Alliant International) vs. Loyola Marymount on Jan. 5, 1991
