Durant had 37 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks. Boggan finished with 37 points as well -- plus 20 rebounds. Big picture, Durant altered the paradigm of how freshmen are viewed in college basketball. It was anti-establishment prior to his era to truly consider a first-year player to be more valuable than sophomores, juniors and seniors.

He had 20 double-doubles, including six in a row.

His point, rebound game on the road against Texas Tech is one of the all-time great stat lines in recent memory. In a single game, he had as many as 16 free-throw attempts in a game against New Mexico State in the NCAA tournament , six 3-pointers at Kansas in Texas' regular-season finale and six blocks against Kansas in the Big 12 tournament.
