Move over, Kobe.

Bryant's 81 points in one NBA game in 2006 were impressive ... but they would have been more impressive if they were 89.

That'd be more like Grinnell's Griffin Lentsch, who scored 89 points in the Pioneers' 145-97 win over Principia.

Lentsch set the NCAA Division III record for single-game scoring with the performance. He broke the mark set by another Grinnell player, Jeff Clement, who scored 77 on Feb. 18, 1998.

Lentsch shot 27-for-55 from the floor, including 15-for-33 from 3-point range. He was 20-for-22 from the foul line. He played 36 minutes.

The 89 points is the third-most in NCAA men's basketball history.

"It's still setting in," Lentsch told Grinnell's official athletics website after the game. "I didn't think I would ever score that many points."

While looking that up i was surprised to see that a kid in middle school named Bob Harrison in 1941, an eighth grader, scored 139 points.

BTW, his team won 139-8. LOL
