On December 2, 2006, [[Lincoln University (Pennsylvania)|Lincoln University]] defeated Ohio State Marion in basketball with a final score of 201-78. This set new all-time [[NCAA Division III]] basketball records for points scored in one game (201), points in a half (104), largest margin of victory (123), shots made (78), and shots taken (141). The scoreboard at the end of the game actually read "Lincoln 01, Marion 78," because it wasn't designed to go up to 200.<ref>{{cite web
