Is 30 assists a record for us?

No.
NU had 32 against Benedictine in 2007 for the record. NU had 30 on 2 other occasions.
As an aside, the 103 points NU scored are tied for the 10th highest scoring total in NU history. The record is 121 against Tulane in 1966. NU also scored 120 against Ball State, 116 against Kentucky, and 111 against Purdue in 1966. What the heck was in the water back then? This was WITHOUT the 3-point shot too.

I have posted many times about NU 66-69. We were really very good but only one B1G team made the NCAA Tournament back then
Jim Pitts was the center on that '66 team-rebounder, shot blocker and defender but minimal offense
Jim B was a great scoring guard
We actually lost the Kentucky game when we scored 116. Adolph Rupp's warm up drills were like watching the Globetrotters. Pat Riley made 2 free throws after NU was called for charging on what was supposed to be the last shot of the game. Louie Dampier was the other guard on UK that year
Great memories
NU actually had the #1 recruiting with Jim B, Jim Cummins et al
Thanks for the reminder, Doc. Why was the scoring so prolific then? Did they not play any Defense? Or was it complete run and gun? I wish college ball went back to that scoring, it would really be fun to watch.
Was IL Benedictine a D1 school? If not should a record in a game against them count? If not, that would mean we tied our record.
No, they are not, but if NU Sports says it is the record, it must be the record. I found it in the 2015 NU media guide.
