The 1992 Troy State vs. DeVry men's basketball game is the highest-scoring men's basketball game in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) history, regardless of division classification. On January 12, 1992, Troy State University, now known as Troy University, defeated DeVry University of Atlanta 258–141 in a game that is considered to have established several unbreakable records.[1] In a 2017 video-essay by Jon Bois, he re-counted the game's score using unedited game footage and argued that the correct score should be 253–141, although the official NCAA box score remains unchanged.[2][3]
