During a successful four year career, Steve Matchell set a standard for men's basketball at John Brown University. He is one of only two former men's basketball players that have scored over 2,000 career points. He also shares the highest career scoring average at 17.8 points per game and still holds the single-game scoring record with a 47-point performance against College of the Ozarks (Mo.) during the 1976-77 season.
