Good list (although I'll add two updates: Doug Smith avged 10.4 rebounds in '90-91, and Ratliffe was actually a 40% + shooter behind the arc his first two years of JUCO ball).

Here is my previous version of what I would consider unbreakable MU records (I'm not including the negative accomplishments of the Kim Anderson era as unbreakable, these are only positive achievements).


FG% in a conference season : 74.7% - Greg Church
62 makes and 21 misses in 83 attempts during Big 8 play. This is one not even Ratliffe could touch.

Team FG% - 57.2% - 1980 Tigers
Not just an MU record, but the All Time NCAA record, no team in NCAA history has ever topped that mark. In fact no other team has ever surpassed 56.6% for a season so it really hasn't even been approached.

Points in a career : 2,580 - Derrick Chievious
He currently ranks 36th all time among players in NCAA history. That is 396 points ahead of the second place finisher all time at MU, one of only two Tigers to even score 2,000. He eclipsed the previous MU record by greater than a 40% improvement. Chievous is 3rd all time among Big 12 conference school players, behind only Wayman Tisdale and Danny Manning. More amazingly, since his teams never won a postseason game he was shortchanged at the back end of each season in terms of appearances and only played in 131 career games.

Points in a single game : 46 - Joe Scott
Reached in 1961, it is one of the longest standing MU records. In fact, only once in the last 50 years has a Tiger come within 2 points of the mark when Doug Smith scored 44 against Nebraska in 1990. Scott reached 46 without the benefit of a shot clock or the three point line, converting 10 free throws and 18 field goals.

3 point shots made in a game : 12 - Clarence Gilbert
That single game mark has only been topped 4 times in NCAA history.

3 Point FG% in a season : 52.7% - Lee Coward
Only twice in school history has a Tiger shot greater than 50% for the season behind the arc. Both were on the same team. Joining Coward in 1987-88 was Derrick Chievous at 51.5%.

Rebounds in a single game : 27 - Bob Reiter
No Tiger has even surpassed 20 in a game since 1973.

Rebounds avg, season : 16.5 - Bill Stauffer
Stauffer also holds the second place mark of 14.9 per game. No Tiger has even avged double digits in rebounds since 1991.

Team Points scored in a game : 129 - vs Alabama State in 1988
8 different Tigers reached double figures in the game. MU also set the program record for assists in the game with 37.

Team points scored in a half: 73 - against Prairie View A&M in 1991

Margin of victory against D1 opponent : 72 - against Chicago St in 1995
Only 11 NCAA DI games ever played have had a greater margin of victory. MU won by the score of 117-45. MU also defeated MacMurray by 72 in 1976 by the score of 106-34, but they were not D1.

Most points given up in a half : 75 - second half against Arkansas in 1993-94
After giving up 75 second half points MU went on to an undefeated conference season and their only #1 NCAA tournament seed. But that was a beating unparalleled in MU program history.

Fewest points allowed in a half (since 1960) - 4 - against CU in 1980
MU would go on to win the game 78-45, so CU scored 41 of its 45 points in the second half.

Lowest FG% allowed - 0.183 - Ark Pine Bluff in 1998
MU won the game 89-33.

Team Points per Game in a season: 88.0 - 1989
MU finished in the top 5 scoring teams in the nation in 2009 and avged 6.5 ppg less than the 1989 season.

Team Points allowed per game in a season : 59.7 - 1982
The Tiger's 3rd straight Big 8 champion and first team to ascend to the #1 ranking in the polls is the only instance post-1952 of a Tiger team allowing less than 60 ppg for the season.


Team Assists per game : 20.0 - 1990 Tigers
MU led the nation in assist in 2009 at 18.4. VMI in 2007 is the only NCAA team since 2002 to avg > 20 assists per game.

Team Assist to turnover Ratio : 1.56 - 2009 Tigers
Since the NCAA began officially tracking assist to turnover ratio as a stat in 1993, that is the 10th highest mark in NCAA history.


# of years All American : 3 - Herb Bunker
Freshman weren't eligible for varsity at that time, so essentially EVERY year. He is one of 19 players ever to be a three time consensus All American.

National Player of the Year : 1 - George Williams
This could potentially be tied, doubt its ever broken. I don't see a National Player of the Year coming back for another season in today's college game.


Best career coaching winning % (at least 2 seasons) 94.4% - Walter Meanwell
Very narrowly beating out Craig Ruby's 94.3%.

Least amount of career games to reach 100 wins: 109 - Walter Meanwell
Meanwell won 100 of his first 109 contests as a head coach at Wisconsin and Missouri which still is the All Time NCAA record. He is also in the top 10 all time in NCAA history in fastest to reach 200 wins, needing only 254 games to top the mark.

Most minutes played in a single game - 56 - Clarence Gilbert against Iowa State
To put that one in context, someone could play every second of regulation, every second of a first overtime, every second of a second overtime, every second of a third overtime….and they still wouldn't top the mark.

FT's made in a season : 244 - Chievous
That is an average of 7.2 points per game from the free throw line.

FT's made in a career : 764 - Chievous
That ranks 10th all time in NCAA history, and 3rd all time in NCAA history among players with less than 1,000 career free throw attempts.

Most Free Throws made in a game without missing : 20 - Anthony Peeler
Peeler made 20 of 20 from the line against ISU in 1990. Only 3 times in NCAA history has that mark been topped, and Steve Nash's 21 for 21 in 1995 is the only instance since 1960. Incidentally, Jim Kennedy made 19 of 19 from the free throw line for MU in 1975 against Hawaii in a game the Tigers finished with only 4 players on the court because everyone else fouled out.


Free throws attempted in a single game: 25 - Sammie Haley
Accomplished in the first NIT win in program history. Sammie converted 17 of the 25 on his way to 31 points in a 89-85 win.

Single Season Scoring Avg: 25.3 - Willie Smith in 1976
Ranked 9th nationally that season, the only instance of a Tiger finishing in the top 10 in the NCAA for a season.

Career Scoring Avg : 23.9 - Willie Smith
Only player in MU history to avg more than 20 ppg for his career, nearly 4 ppg better than any other Tiger.
