1.    61, Austin Carr, Notre Dame vs. Ohio (March 7, 1970)

In the first round of the 1970 men’s basketball tournament, Carr exploded for the single-game record on 25-of-44 shooting. Remember, this was before the implementation of the 3-point line, so Carr scored 50 on field goals alone. He added 11 points from 14 free-throw attempts, helping push the Fighting Irish past the Bobcats 112-82. Carr averaged 52.7 points over three tournament games (also an NCAA record), but Notre Dame lost to Kentucky in the regional semifinals.
