Carius put up the performance of the season when he scored a program single-game record 62 points to help the Scots hand Grinnell its first conference loss of the season. In the junior transfer’s first game against the Grinnell System, he scored 53 percent of Monmouth’s 116 points and broke the school record by ten. Carius also is now the only non-Pioneer in the MWC top ten for points in a game as he ranks seventh all-time. He made 24-of-26 shots, with his only two misses coming on a pair of 3-pointers as the shot clock expired and he grabbed 18 rebounds, 17 defensive, in the 116-88 win. The forward followed with 28 points, seven rebounds, and four block shots in a 56-60 loss at Lawrence. Carius averaged 45 points on 33-of50 (.660) shooting with 12.5 rebounds per game. He scored 90 of the Scots 172 points or 52 percent.
