The best month of the college basketball season is March. The second-best month of the college basketball season is the month before March.

As the college hoops season really begins to ramp up with title fights being decided and postseason fates being sealed, Video Game Numbers is serving up another weely plate of wild performances from across the sport. It’s the first one of February, and multiple 50-point games plus a triple-double (and more) are here to ring in the month.

Here’s a look back at college basketball’s Video Game Numbers from the week that was across the NCAA landscape:

NOTE: Stats are for the week from Jan. 26-Feb. 2

Men's College Basketball Stats

Division I: Madison Durr, G, Monmouth

The joint-highest scoring performance in all of D-I men’s basketball this past week came from a player who, prior to his big week with the Hawks, hadn’t hit the 20-point mark in any game this season.  And then he proceeded to smash the 20-point barrier in back-to-back games. 

In a performance that came essentially out of nowhere last Thursday against Drexel — and one that Coastal Athletic Association fans on FloCollege were able to watch live in awe — Durr, who transferred into Monmouth in the offseason from The Citadel, set an OceanFirst Bank Center record with 40 points in the Hawks’ double-overtime win over the Dragons, scoring 12 of Monmouth’s 13 points in the second overtime to seal the victory. Durr was lethally efficient, going 10 for 11 from the field with a perfect 19 for 19 clip from the free throw line, the latter of which was the most free throw made without a miss in any game in the NCAA this season. 

Determined to prove that his game against Drexel wasn’t just a flash in the pan, however, Durr then went for 27 points last Saturday against Delaware in another Hawks win, going 14 for 14 from the line to make it a streak of 33 consecutive free throws made (a program record) heading into this week’s CAA slate. 

The Hawks (7-16 overall, 5-5 CAA) have some work to do down the stretch to improve their record, but while they try to do that, a new star in Durr may help lead the way.

Division II: Jadin Booth, G, Florida Southern

Florida Southern only had one game last week that fit within the qualifying dates for Video Game Numbers, but Booth only needed one performance to show why he deserved the spot as this week’s D-II men’s honoree.

With his team down by as much as 17 points in the first half, Booth helped rescue the Mocs in a wild 129-125 overtime win over Tampa last Wednesday night as he scored 34 points while somehow almost finding the time for a triple-double, too, notching a season-high 14 assists with eight rebounds on top of it all.

Booth, an elite shooter at the line who is third in the country in free throw percentage (93% as of Monday afternoon) but is also the only player among the top 13 to have attempted at least 100 free throws — going a terrific 146 of 157 from the charity stripe to date — made a killing at the foul line against Tampa, shooting 16 for 17 on foul shots. 

Averaging 21.5 points per game for one of the highest scoring teams in D-II (94.3 points per game), Booth’s somewhat underrated passing ability was on full display against the Spartans, as well, finishing with over double the amount of assists compared to anyone else on the floor that night. The Sunshine State Conference title race, with three of the top nine top-scoring teams in D-II, should get spicy in its final few weeks.

Division III: Joshua Van Gorp, C, Central

After an underwhelming and season-low 11-point night against Simpson last Wednesday in which he only attempted three shots, Central made an effort to give Van Gorp, its two-time All-American big man, the ball much more often in its following game last Saturday against Coe. 

It resulted in one of the most terrific scoring performances seen at any level of college basketball this season.

Van Gorp erupted for a Central school-record 55 points — breaking his previous record of 48 from last season, also set against Coe — in the Dutch’s 75-73 win to close the week, extending their winning streak in American Rivers Conference play to four games in the process.

Shooting a ridiculous 26 for 36 from the field, with his total field goals made also smashing his previously-owned single-game school record of 20, Van Gorp added 15 rebounds and a pair of blocks to his historic scoring night for good measure. He also had one of the Dutch’s biggest buckets of the game in its final stages, converting a three-point play with 15 seconds left while down 71-70; the Kohawks tied it with nine seconds left, but a go-ahead layup in response from Bradley Curren with 1.4 to play iced it for Central.

Shooting 68% from the field this season as of Monday afternoon, Van Gorp is near-automatic in the middle, and he could cause some damage if the Dutch (13-7 overall) make it back to the NCAA D-III Tournament for the first time since 2016.

Women's College Basketball Stats

Division I: Mikayla Blakes, G, Vanderbilt

The resurgence of the Commodores under fourth-year head coach Shea Ralph is for real, with a big part of that being because she’s been able to bring talents like Blakes — a rockstar freshman and a McDonald’s All-American out of high school — to Nashville.

But what Blakes did last Thursday at Florida has truly set her apart as a program-changing player at Vandy.

With 53 points against the Gators in the Commodores' 99-86 win, Blakes set the all-time NCAA true freshman single-game scoring record and became the first D-I player, man or woman, to record at least 50 points in a game this season. She eclipsed USC superstar JuJu Watkins’ previous high of 51 points by a true freshman set last season, and only Delaware legend Elena Delle Donne has more points in a single game from a freshman of any kind, scoring 54 in a game in 2009-10.

Blakes additionally broke school and Southeastern Conference single-game scoring records in her performance at Florida, which came off of 16-for-24 shooting with five 3-pointers and 16-for-18 shooting from the free throw line. A 33-point outburst at then-No. 19 Alabama last Sunday before her record-breaking night in Gainesville didn’t exactly hurt her Video Game Numbers candidacy, either.

Vandy fans, buckle up, because you might have a few fun seasons to come with Blakes leading the charge.

Division II: Alisha Little, F, Colorado State Pueblo

Little — formerly a Big Sky Conference MVP at Northern Colorado — was a nominee in the first-ever edition of Video Game Numbers released back during the first week of December. Now, during the first week of February, the ThunderWolves’ double-double machine makes her triumphant return to the list.

CSUP split Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference games this past week against Colorado Mesa and Westminster (Utah), but Little, regardless of result, had monster back-to-back double-doubles in those games. 

First in the ThunderWolves’ defeat to the Mavericks last Thursday, Little scored 29 points and corralled 14 rebounds with first place in the RMAC on the line, with CSUP coming up just short of the conference lead in the end. However, two nights later with the Griffins coming to town, Little outdid herself by coming up just two steals shy of what would’ve been her second triple-double of the season — 33 points, 15 rebounds, eight steals on 11-for-16 shooting. Oh, and she squeezed in four assists and four blocks with it all, too.

There’s an argument to be made for Little being the best player in D-II, and if the ThunderWolves are able to make it to the NCAA Tournament, she’ll be able to prove it on a big stage.

Division III: Alexa Charles, G, Hunter

Putting up a triple-double is usually a good way to find yourself in the running for Video Game Numbers, but the way Charles notched her triple-double last Monday on the road against Sarah Lawrence wasn’t in the traditional style.

Instead of the classic points-rebounds-assists triple-double, Charles instead nabbed the rare points-rebounds-steals triple-double in the Hawks’ dominant 88-36 victory, nearly outscoring the Griffons by herself with a 35-point explosion to go along with 12 boards and 10 swipes.

Charles wasn’t done there as she then proceeded to lead the Hawks to two more victories last week, too, both of which saw her finish with strong double-doubles with plenty of action elsewhere on the stat sheet. 

One night after her triple-double, Charles went for 25 points and 16 rebounds in Hunter’s 79-44 win over Medgar Evers last Tuesday, adding six assists and six steals on top of it. And then Friday night at home against John Jay, Charles capped off her week with another huge game — 25 points, 10 rebounds, six steals — as the Hawks improved to 9-0 in City University of New York Athletic Conference play in a 71-50 triumph.

D-III’s second-leading scorer and third-leading player in steals per game is among the best two-way players you’ll find anywhere, so if you happen to see her on this list again later this year, don’t be surprised why.
