JJ Culver used to be known as Jarrett Culver’s brother. After Tuesday, he’s now known as the guy who scored 100 points in a game.
JJ Culver scored 100 points in Wayland Baptist’s 124-60 win over Southwest Adventist. He became the second NAIA player to score 100 points in a game.
Culver went 34-for-62 from the field, including 12-for-33 on threes and 20-for-27 on free throws. According to TexasBasketball.com, Culver scored his team’s first 42 points and had 51 by halftime, which broke the school’s record for points in a game.
Culver took the famous Wilt Chamberlain photo after his 100-point game:

Did the huge game and success go to Culver’s head? Not at all. He sent some awesome tweets afterwards, thanking everyone who helped him realize his dream.
First I have to thanks God. Second I couldn’t have done this without my coaches and teammates. Definitely a dream come true. I put in a lot of work for this. I love playing basketball and thanks everyone for the support pic.twitter.com/3Wy2fjljeG

What a great message.
Culver’s brother Jarrett starred at Texas Tech last season and was the No. 6 overall pick by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
