24. BYU vs Portland: Kyle Collinsworth, Triple Double King (2016)
Portland doesn’t exactly jump out at you as a glamorous opponent. The Pilots have taken a decent share against the Cougars, but by and large any time these teams meet, safe money is usually with BYU basketball
This was a rare case of a record being more important than a win.
This victory cemented Kyle Collinsworth as college basketball’s Mr Triple-double. With 13 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists (and two steals), Collinsworth set the NCAA season record with his 6th such stat-stuffer. He also tied the NCAA career record, and sealed his name forever in the record books.
Take that, Shaq.
The game itself was also an important one: the Cougars had to get passed the Pilots to advance to the conference tourney title match.
Also worth noting: Tyler Haws took the scoring title from Jimmer in a win over Portland earlier that year. So if you need a record broken, you know the team to call.
