Kobe Kirk exploded for a career-high 44 points while going 13-for-22 from the field, 6-for-9 from three-point range, and 12-for-14 from the free-throw line in the Oles' 84-75 loss at Carleton on 1/31. Kirk's 44-point effort was the first 40-point performance by an Ole since 1976 and just the third in recorded program history. Kirk scored at least 20 points in both halves on his way to the second-highest single-game point total in the MIAC this season.
