Don Kojis led the Marquette men's basketball team in scoring as a junior (20.9 ppg) and senior (21.4 ppg) and was a three-time team rebounding leader.

At the conclusion of his college career, he was the school's all-time scoring leader with 1,504 points and still ranks as the program's top career rebounder man with 1,222 boards.

He was named to the 1959 NCAA Tournament All-Mideast Team and helped Marquette finish with a 23-6 record. At the time, his 578 points and 232 field goals in 1960-61 were school records, and his 462 rebounds still holds up as the top seasonal mark in school lore.

Named to the Catholic All-America Team by Catholic Digest in 1961, he still holds the top two Marquette seasonal efforts in rebound average with 17.1 rpg in 1960-1961 and 15.4 rpg in 1959-1960.

In December of 1961, his jersey number 44 was retired by the school. After his playing days at Marquette were over, he enjoyed 12 productive seasons in the National Basketball Association, capturing all-star recognition in 1967-1968 and 1968-1969.
