Amanda Zahui B. was supposed to be a Gopher last season. But she is from Stockholm, Sweden and by the time she arrived Pam Borton's team was already playing. So she redshirted.
But Zahui B. appears to be worth the wait.
Against Kansas on Wednesday night she scored only 11 points but still dominated in a 70-59 victory.
The 6-5 center had only the fourth triple-double in the Minnesota program history and set a record for blocks in a single game.
Zahui B. had 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocks, breaking the record of eight set by Mary Manderfeld on Jan. 31, 1981.
She was 5-of-9 from the field, 0-for-1 on threes, and 1-for-1 on free throws. ... Nine of her rebounds came on defense, two on offense. ... She also had five assists, tying for game high in 32 minutes. ... On the negative side, she committed three turnovers and had three fouls.
Here is a list of the Gophers' triple-doubles:
