Unofficial

Between 1935–36 and 1946–47, there were no "official" NCAA scoring champions. The statistics during that era were compiled from the National Basketball Committee Official Basketball Guide, which was not regulated by NCAA authorities. Therefore, the following players are included in the annual NCAA men's basketball media guide, but are listed as "unofficial" season scoring leaders.
George Mikan (#99) was the first center to lead the nation in scoring, albeit unofficially.
