February 8, 1968 and February 8, 1969 — Bob Portman must love February 8, because he recorded two of the highest field goal attempt totals in Creighton history on that day in consecutive seasons.
On February 8, 1968, Portman attempted 36 field goals against Oklahoma City, good for the third highest single-game total in Creighton history.
On February 8, 1969, Portman attempted 33 shots against Portland.
Not surprisingly, Portman owns each of the top six single-game field goal attempt records in Creighton’s all-time list.
