The Big Sky 3 point and scoring records may also be in danger.
Sitting at 1,861 points through 3 years, I would be surprised if Hall doesn't break the conference scoring record next year (2,102). His total of 544 points last year was his lowest output in three years playing for the Cats. What makes the current records standout, though, is that Gordon Lightfoot set the record in 3 seasons, and didn't have the advantage of the 3 point shot. For example, if all of Hall's 3 point shots were converted to 2 points, he would only have 1,546 points thus far.
Hall also only needs 31 3-pointers to break the all-time Big Sky record in that category. This should easily be accomplished, as he averages 3.4 3-pointers/game for his career.
Not that is matters other than for discussion purposes, but the gentleman's name is Orlando Lightfoot from Chattanooga, TN first of all. Second, the NCAA adopted the three point shot in the mid to late 80s. Eustachy coached Mr. Lightfoot sometime in the 90s--91 to 93 sounds about right. May be a couple years off one way or the other but that's what google is for...

Interestingly, Gordon Lightfoot left school a year early to pen his most famous tune "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Otherwise he would've had 500 more points.

I thought Gordon was a one and done like Arlo Guthrie at Rocky...
