Craig Kelleher served as the anchor in the post for a successful run of men's basketball teams during the 1990s. The 6-foot-7 forward provided the defensive backbone for his squads. He ranks third all-time in both rebounds (807) and steals (115), while his school-record 136 blocked shots are 45 more than the next highest total. Kelleher produced the program's most blocks in a season (42) and a game (7). He was also a scoring threat in the paint with 1,126 career points. During his four years, the Maroons went 82-23 (.781 winning percentage) with two UAA titles and two trips to the NCAA Round of 16. Kelleher's contributions were recognized with four All-UAA selections, including a First Team accolade in 1996-97.
