Amazing that it hadn't happened in nearly 30 years
and then two different players on the same team.
There's still plenty of time to get Bam one!

ESPN is already doing their thing on SportsCenter saying it was a wild finish in Oxford and then goes on to mention the intentional miss by Willis so Briscoe could get his 10th rebound WITH A 25 POINT LEAD. Hinting at that not being ethical. It's no secret Willis missed intentionally but isn't there an Ole Miss player there also with inside position? ESPN truly does SUCK!

IB has been my favorite player going back to last year. Always defend him on this board and am incredibly happy for him.

I think IB made himself some money last night. The fact that he showcased his PG ability, shot the ball well and with all the talent on this roster he showed that he has the ability to rise up above it when needed and got the triple double.

NBA can see all the improvements he's made and can forcast that to when he wont have to focus on school.

Back then, was the broadcast crew even aware of these stats while calling the game. Was "triple/double" or "double/double" even a stat that was kept when Chris Mills got his?

I think he could get another one this season. He's consistently a great rebounder and passer, and with the pace this team plays, there are many shots to go around to get rebounds and assists. And he can still score the ball (isn't that such a wonderful phrase?) very well, too.

That would be amazing!

As someone else pontificated, there maybe the possibility of other players, as well, achieving this feat!!

Have 2 different guards on the same team ever gotten triple doubles in the same season ?

You can call it how you want, but several years ago ESPN ripped an NBA player for a similar act. I would have preferred for Briscoe to have got his 10th rebound in an actual play.
You will always have 2 camps. One will say what a great game AND he got a triple-double. The ther will overlook the game because the last rebound of the triple-double was basically given to him.
Just depends on which camp you want to put yourself in.

Briscoe still had to beat his opponent, who had inside position, to the ball. No one is saying this was the most authentic triple-double ever, but we've had 3 in our history and ESPN has picked apart 2 of them. Other than Ricky Davis, who intentionally missed a shot so he could get the rebound to complete his triple-double, I don't remember ESPN scrutinizing others as promptly and/or as vigorously.

Given? He had outside position on the FT line and the Ole Miss player didn't let him step in and have it. Willis may have missed intentionally but he fought for the board
