Kansas basketball: Single-game leaders for every major statistical category
By Kyle Jones
Jeff Withey — 12 blocks
I’ll admit, Wilt Chamberlain probably holds this record. I have a hard time imagining somehow as dominant as Wilt not having at least one game with more than a dozen blocks. Unfortunately for him, blocks weren’t recorded when he played.
Jeff Withey is far and away the biggest beneficiary of that, as he holds seven of the top eight single-game block performances in school history. As if that wasn’t enough, in games that he played ten or more minutes, he had just five games that he didn’t record a block (and three of those were before he became a starter).
He was the true definition of a rim protector. That was on full display against San Jose State in 2012 when he denied 12 shots. What’s even more impressive, Withey recorded just the second triple-double in school history in the same game. Not a bad day at the office for Mr. Withey.
