NCAA at 75 - College Basketball
7. Danny Manning, Kansas
Kansas' 1988 NCAA championship team is referred to as "Danny and the Miracles" because of the Jayhawks' unlikely march after entering the tournament with 11 losses and a No. 6 seed. Still, anyone who watched Manning throughout his career had come to expect performances like the one he gave in KU's 83-79 victory over Oklahoma in the title game. Manning scored 31 points, snared 18 rebounds, made 5 steals and swatted 2 shots. A few months later, Manning -- the Jayhawks' all-time leading scorer -- was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft. He also helped lead the Jayhawks to the Final Four in 1986 and a regional semifinal in 1987. -- Jason King
