Good stats.

Is Hill already Arkansas's career blocked shots leader?  Also who is the single season and single game record holder for blocked shots?  Thanks in advance.

I never would have guessed Todd Day  had 100 blocks.

BUT... he did play huge amounts of minutes for 4 years, so i guess he could accumulate that.  Plus he was freakishly long .  All of his scoring stats seem pretty amazing, but then again you realize he was given Beverley-like playing time as a Freshman, it's a little more understandable.

Though, what's even more "WOW" about Todd Day, is that he sat out like 12-13 games his senior year due to an issue with a girl (yikes), but he STILL set the scoring record and all.....

Now that guy was not afraid to Shoot!

For all the criticizism that Townes has had, he has definately had a decent career at the U of A

[javajockey]

I remember Nick Davis being a rebounding machine but the number of blocks he had surprised me.

Barring long-term injuries, both should easily break the 1,000 pt plateau...

I also believe that Hill got 99 blocks this last season...
