Rick Mount has to be at or near the top of any list of great college shooters. He scored 28 points against #1 ranked UCLA in his very first game at Purdue. Mount was the first high school player ever to appear on the cover of SI.
As a junior, Mount led the Boilermakers to a Big Ten championship and he averaged 40.6 ppg in their three NCAA Tournament games. He shot 51.5 percent from the field for the season.
Like Maravich, Mount played without the benefit of a 3-point line. As a senior, Mount scored 61 against Big Ten champion Iowa. A later analysis showed that 13 or his shots were from behind the arc - so he would have scored 74 points under today's rules.
Both Al McGuire and **** Vitale aid that Mount was the best pure shooter that they ever saw play. Mount still runs shooting camps throughout the Midwest.
