In the last two seasons, including 2024-25 when coach Brian Peabody's Pima College men's basketball team went 33-1 and was ranked No. 1 in NJCAA for most of the year, the Aztecs averaged 101.6 and 101.4 points per game. Both totals led the nation.
PCC freshman Will Feagles scored a game-high 37 points vs. Benedictine Mesa JV as he was 13 for 15 from the field and 9 for 11 from three-point range. He also had four rebounds and two steals.
This year, Peabody has taken his up-tempo game to another level. In the first six games of the season, Pima scored 141, 132, 123, 170, 161 and 142 points. Finally, in last week's ACCAC opener, against Phoenix College, the Aztecs were held under 100, scoring "just" 96 points in an easy victory. The Aztecs are shooting a head-turning 68.5% overall and 54% on 3 pointers.
The competition will improve through the ACCAC season. Pima's victories have been against such teams as Benedictine Mesa JV and Park University JV, but still, no one else averages 100 per game. The ACCAC season record had been 98.9 by Jerry Carrillo's 2000-01 Cochise College team.
The Aztecs' 170-point effort against Park University JV is more than Arizona's career high of 133 points against Duquesne in 1987-88, more than the Pac-12 record of UCLA's 149-98 victory over LMU in 1990 and more than the Big 12 record of 167, set by Texas Tech in 2008 while beating East Central Oklahoma 167-115.
