Video: Rodney Purvis erupts for 53 points
NC State signee
Rodney Purvis saved his best for last.
In the last regular season home game of his prep career, the Raleigh (N.C.) Upper Room guard erupted for 53 points, three rebounds, three assists and one steal in a 105-75 victory over Body of Christ Christan Academy.
Purvis' outing set a new school record for most points in a game, breaking his old mark of 46, which the McDonald's All-American set last year.
The standout senior shot 19-of-27 from the field, including a 9-of-15 effort from three-point land. Purvis also went 6-of-11 from the free throw line.
