Frank Selvy, who once scored 100 points in college game, dead at 91

Frank Selvy, a one-time Knick and the only player ever to score 100 points in an NCAA Division I college basketball game, died on Tuesday, his alma mater Furman University announced.

He was 91 years old.

Selvy passed away at his home in Simpsonville, S.C. and had been surrounded by his family at the time of his death. 

The Corbin, Ky. native had a lengthy basketball career which included a season with the Knicks in 1958-59. 

During his lone campaign in orange and blue, Selvy averaged 9.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. 

But the former No. 1 overall pick by the Baltimore Bullets is best remembered for his time in college basketball. 

“Frank was both a mentor and a friend who had an incredible impact on Furman Basketball as a player and as a coach,” said current Furman basketball head coach Bob Richey in a statement. “In addition to being a great basketball player, Frank was a phenomenal person. He was one of the best to ever wear the jersey, and he will be deeply missed.”

Selvy led the NCAA in scoring twice during his four years at Furman University and averaged 32.5 points per game during his college career, which included scoring at least 40 points on 22 separate occasions. 

His most memorable performance came on Feb. 13, 1954, when he scored 100 points against Newberry in a 145-95 win and set a record that still stands.

Furman retired his No. 28, and he was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022. 

“More than his accomplishments on the court, Frank’s devotion to his family was his greatest achievement,” Furman’s Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics Jason Donnelly said in a statement.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Barbara and the entire Selvy family. We will miss Frank dearly but will remember him forever — a true Paladin legend.”

Selvy went on to play nine seasons in the NBA with the Milwaukee/St. Louis Hawks, Knicks, Syracuse Nationals and Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers. 

He appeared in two NBA Finals and was an NBA All-Star twice during his career, in which he averaged 10.8 points and 3.7 rebounds.
