Box score for anybody too lazy to search for it:

Kind of crazy, but kind of cool. Everybody is talking about how many shots he took, how he didn’t have any assists, but I think that’s just looking at things the wrong way.
The top 3 D3 record holders for points in a game, all from Grinnell College:
Jack Taylor, Grinnell College, 138 points (2012)
Griffin Lentsch, Grinnell College, 88 points (2011)
Jeff Clement, Grinnell College, 77 points (1998)
Grinnell pretty much always leads the nation in scoring.
I guess there’s certain games every year when he coach says let’s get Player X the ball, and everybody is cool with it. They did it for Griffin Lentsch last year and he got 88, but yesterday he got only 7. Other players will get their turns too.
So I wouldn’t label Jack Taylor as selfish or a ballhog, or look down on him because he didn’t have any assists or took a lot of shots. It’s just the way Grinnell plays. I wouldn't mind being part of a system like that.
