Next in line but behind Trent would be James again with 34.4 in 2007-09 (freshman season) and then Jeff Pendergaph at 33.6 in Coach Sendek's first season (2006-07). Trent played a career-high 40 vs. Oregon, although it went in the box score as a "40-" since he sat for 28 seconds. But it goes down as a 40-minute game.
