What I find most impressive is this is not a record that was broken as a result of the game changing.
For instance, as the game becomes more perimeter oriented, 3-point records are falling left and right and 3 pointers have not been a stat as long as something like rebounds, which have been a stat the entire time the Big East has been in existence.
This is a very difficult record to break, and Angel worked his ass off in doing so.
