At Arkansas, Day broke Sidney Moncrief's career mark for scoring with 2,395 points during his four-year career. Day was a member of the All-Southwest Conference Newcomer Team as a freshman, a member of the Arkansas unit that reached the NCAA Final Four as a sophomore, and a John Wooden First-Team All-America selection as both a junior and senior. In his final college season, he powered the Razorbacks to the Southeastern Conference title in the school's first season in the league. His scoring average (22.7 ppg) was the third highest in school history. Day holds several school records, including career points (2,395), and points in a season (786).
