He also led the team in scoring as a junior with 13.6 points per game. Anderson still holds the Pointers’ career free throw shooting record at 90.4 percent. He also competed two seasons as a pitcher on the Pointers’ baseball team. Anderson played his first two seasons at UW-Eau Claire.

An Auburndale native, Anderson scored 1,977 career points in high school while averaging 32.4 points per game and playing for his father, Tim, who is one of Wisconsin’s all-time winningest prep coaches. Anderson was also an all-state baseball player and all-conference football player in high school.
