per GopherSports:

In the last decade, only two players in Division I men’s basketball have started the season with 12 consecutive double-doubles: Kansas State’s Michael Beasley during the 2007-2008 season, and this season, Gophers junior Jordan Murphy.

Beasley, a future No. 2 overall pick in the NBA Draft, went on to be the Big 12 Player of the Year that season, and Murphy has similarly found success and accolades.

Murphy leads the Big Ten in points and rebounds, with 20.3 and 13, respectively. Murphy’s 13 rebounds per game is also good for first in the nation. His 12 double-doubles is also atop the national leaderboard.

The 6-6 junior dominates opponents inside, and uses his superior athleticism and length to leap over his adversaries and grab seemingly impossible boards.
