I checked the media guide and it doesn't seem to show a record for most field goals in a row under the Individual Records section. Its hows most made in a game, 18 by STeve Thomas. Sato and Posey hold the consecutive FT's record at 31. I have to think Duncans 16 consecutive FG's is a record. Anyone know?

The NBA record is 35 in a row held by Wilt Chamberlain. Still can't find an NCAA record for this.

Found this, but its only through 2003

Highest field-goal percentage (minimum five FGM per game)

78.8% (26-33) Christian Laettner, Duke, 1989 (5 games)
78.6% (22-28) Heyward Dotson, Columbia, 1968 (3)
78.3% (18-23) * Winston Bennett, Kentucky, 1988 (3)
78.0% (32-41) Kevin Gamble, Iowa, 1987 (4)
77.1% (27-35) Mark Dressler, Missouri, 1980 (3)

Highest scoring average (minimum three games played)--interesting

52.7 (158 points in 3 games) Austin Carr, Notre Dame, 1970
41.7 (125 in 3) Austin Carr, Notre Dame, 1971
35.8 (143 in 4) Jerry Chambers, Utah, 1966
35.8 (143 in 4) Bo Kimble, Loyola Marymount, 1990
35.4 (177 in 5) Bill Bradley, Princeton, 1965

XuGrad: everyone on this board thinks we're bitter enemies. Didn't you just have me as guest in the box at Cintas?

According to Mr. Stats, Mark Wagner, Josh's 16 in a row is a team record.

Found this: 1984, North Dakota State, Berwald made 28 in a row over two games

"Berwald didn’t. But he did score 42 in a 118-98 loss to the Vikings. What was even more impressive was Berwald made all 20 of his field goal attempts – a single-game record that not only stands today in the NCC and at NDSU, but among all NCAA schools.

“I remember shooting nothing but layups and dunks,” Berwald said, adding that a lot more fouls could have been called. “I got to the free throw line one time. There was something wrong with that picture.”

The next night in an 84-71 win at South Dakota State, Berwald made his first two field goals – extending his streak of consecutive field goals to 28. That’s a record among all NCAA schools that he shares with Don McAllister of Hartwick College, who made 28 during a six-game stretch in 1980."

Here is a link to a story on Bill Walton in the 1973 Championship game. I remember watching the game but cannot remember how many he hit in a row before missing the one field goal out of 22 that he missed.

I posted this over on xavierhoops.com ...

Here is the record for consecutive field goals. Doug grayson hit 16 consecutive in one game (holy crap). Ray Voelkel hit 25 straight during a stretch in the 78 season. Josh needs 10 more in a row to break the record!!! (he has 16 right now)

Consecutive Field Goals
Game
16—Doug Grayson, Kent St. vs. North Carolina, Dec. 6,
1967 (18 of 19)
Season
25—Ray Voelkel, American, 1978 (during nine games,
Nov. 24-Dec. 16)

Assuming that North Dakota State is part of NCAA history, Josh needs 12 to tie, 13 to break the record of 28 consecutive FG's.
