Iowa men’s bball has never had a triple double. Can we borrow Caitlin Clark for a few games?!?!?
Triple Double

Sure we have: turnovers, missed shots, and allowed 3’s by the opponent. That’s the Iowa men’s triple double of futility. A trademark over the past 30 years.
Payton just got the 1st one in program history
Congratulations to Payton, Patrick and Ben tonight. Massive milestones.
crazy and kind of pathetic 😂
Happy for Payton and someone had to do it, but it’s kind of sad it had never happened before.
Double doubles should be a target every game:
The bigs with points and rebounds
the guards with points and assists
But doing a Caitlin triple is really special and you could see the smile on Paytons face when he got it.
Great job Payton and great milestone Patrick.
Hard to believe with some of the great players in Iowa history that it has never happened before.

Maybe Roy Marble would have had the type of game that could get a triple double. Not a lot of Hawks I can think of that had all three phases to their game. Even for sandfort it is a bit of a fluke for him to get 10 assists. His points and rebounding are pretty good normally.
Well it's pretty rare for a player other than a point guard to have 10 assists or for a point guard to have 10 rebounds so I'm not sure why it's surprising. Acie Earl had 9 steals in a game and probably 10 blocks at least once, but he also shared a lot of boards with Chris Street so getting 10 wasn't easy. Pierre Pierce and Jeff Horner are really the only two that might've had a chance but even then 10 rebounds was going to be tough with Brunner on the team.
Andre Woodridge would have been my guess
Wow. Such a positive take after such a great achievement.
CC22 has 5 this season, Sandfort just got the first ever for the men. Now I am wondering this; In Men's D1 ball, this season, how many triple doubles have been achieved? Surely one of you brainiac's can find that out for us.
WHO TV Keith Murphy said to put in perspective Caitlyn Clark has 26 Triple doubles
I never would have believed Iowa never had a player with a triple double.
My guesses would have been Michael Payne, Acie Earl ( pts, rbs, blocks ), or Andre.

Iowa women are the only program to have 2 players with 5 or more triple doubles in a career.
Another guy that wasn't going to come close to 10 rebounds, especially with Settles and Bowen on the team. He wasn't even a guarantee to score double figures his first two years with Kingsbury and Millard also around. His senior year might've had a chance, but still Rucker, Koch, and Bowen were grabbing all the boards. He was a turnover machine at times, but even then ten is a lot and Dr. Tom probably benches him if it's that bad.
The Penn State HC, in the postgame, was shocked that Iowa never had a player with a triple double before.
"BJ Armstrong never had a triple double? Wow. Congrats to Payton."

What a great night for Sandfort. I didn't think he was going to have time to get those last couple rebounds but he pulled it off!
Hard to believe that was the first one in program history. Crazy.

Her recruitment and Freshman year was the beginning of me getting interested in the Iowa women’s basketball program again… She was Caitlyn before Caitlyn came along…😊
Chris Street and Keegan both had the type of games if they would have played full careers.
Tyler Smith too.
When he got to 9 rebounds, I flashed back to the Ricki Davis days when he needed one rebound for some stat and put up a bad shot so he could get his own offensive rebound and then score.
Congratulations, gotta be the most negative Andre Woolridge take ever. That dude was a stud. Period.
Honestly recent (except Woolridge) guys that I thought would have a chance at triple doubles based on a lot of things (not necessarily best players):
1. Matt Gatens
2. Roy Devyn Marble
3. Andre Woolridge
4. Tony Perkins
5. Mike Gesell
6. Joe W
7. Keegan Murray
I feel like it’d be unrealistic to expect guys like Garza, White, Cook to have double digit assists.

Umm, thanks I guess. Andre averaged 2.8 boards a game, he wasn't going to get a triple double. That's literally what the topic is about. Garza was national player of the year, clearly didn't suck, but wasn't going to get close to one either. Has nothing to do with how good either one was.
I don't remember him having difficulty scoring or being a turnover machine. He was a great player is what I remember.
seems odd that this is the first for Iowa.
After 30 seconds of research I found
UNC has 2.
Duke 4.
The ACC has 32.
Indiana 3
UCLA 4
UK 3
About that qualifier. Assists, blocked shots and steals didn’t become official statistics until the 1970s, 1973 for assists, 1977 for blocks and steals

Payton Sandfort (26 pts, 10 rebs, 10 asts) on recording the first MBB triple-double in Iowa program history:
“It's crazy no other Hawk has done it. Well, I mean I see Caitlin (Clark) do it every day. So that takes some of the legitimacy from it. (laughs) ... But I’m pretty proud. To be from this state, it’s a pretty special thing to be the first one.”

Never said he had difficulty scoring, but we were a balanced scoring team his soph and junior years, he averaged 14 and 13 points those year which means he didn't always score ten and sometimes he'd score 18-20. Kingsbury was a bit of a shot hog in '95 and led the team in scoring with Settles second, and Millard came out of virtually nowhere to be a 14 ppg guy in '96 second to Settles, and Kingsbury getting benched but still averaging 11 ppg behind Andre for fourth. And he averaged 3.2 turnovers per game, which means sometimes he turned it over 6 times and sometime he didn't turn it over at all. You don't remember him getting called for at least one carry every game back when they actually still called that? He also threw a ton of long court bounce passes that were hit or miss depending on who was running the floor. That's also how he averaged 6 assists per game since most of his half court assists were off the fake 3 alley oop they'd run once or twice a game.
