So by my calculations, Murph needs to average 19 boards a game to pass Lucas.

Did you know that Lucas only played 3 seasons in college? That's nuts.

True, but college basketball wasn't fully integrated during his time at OSU, either, so the competition wasn't as strong during Lucas' time as it was by the mid-60s.

True. However, i saw him in person several times and he was a basketball savant. His game would travel to this era very well. Murph has no chance to compare to that legend.
