Unbelievable Rebound Records: The NCAA Tournament’s Most Dominant Performances You’ve Never Heard Of

5. 28 – Elvin Hayes, Houston vs. Pacific, Regional Third Place (March 12, 1966)

An inch taller than Kimball, the 6-9 Hayes’ big rebounding performance helped the Cougars defeat Pacific in the third-place game for the West Region. The following year, Houston and Hayes went all the way to the Final Four before losing to the eventual champion UCLA Bruins and Lew Alcindor, who later become Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Hayes carved out an outstanding career as a 12-time NBA All-Star, winning a championship with the Washington Bullets in 1978. He is fourth in NBA history with 16,279 career rebounds.
