One of my first thoughts was John Johnson. He was on a high scoring run and gun team which leads to more shots made, assist opportunites, and rebounds. He was a great shooter, tall at 6' 6'" or a bit taller.
So I looked up his stats and in his 49 game Iowa career he avgd 23.9 pts a game and 10.4 rebounds a game. So he averaged a double double, which was never even a phrase back then.
But they didnt keep assist stats. Bummer. I looked up assists and the NCAA kept them in 50-51 but then didnt anymore until 83-84.
I will hazard a guess that JJ would have had a triple double while playing with Iowa scoring 30-40 plus baskets a game while averging about 100 pts a game without a 3 pt shot.
Who else might have done it for the men?
