The all time leader in KU history in both scoring and rebounding, Manning is of course most famous for dragging KU to the national title in 1988. The 11 losses are still the most ever by a national champion. Manning had a ridiculous 31 points and 18 rebounds in that game, and added 5 steals and 2 blocks.
Manning won the national player of the year award that year, and was a 3 time NCAA all tourney performer, a 3 time all american, as well as NCAA tournament MOP in 1988.
Manning also won the Big 8 player of the year award three years in a row, something I know no Jayhawk will ever do again.
