Kris Dunn Is A Quadruple-Double Candidate...
Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2015 2:10 pm
No NCAA player has ever recorded a quadruple-double vs a Division-1 team.
Only 4 NBA players have recorded quadruple-doubles:
Nate Thurmond in 1974.
Alvin Robertson in 1986.
Hakeem Olajuwon, twice in March of 1990.
David Robinson in 1994.
Last night, Kris Dunn only got a double-double. But with around 10 minutes left, if he had kept on his normal average stats pace, KD would have recorded a quadruple-double. The probability was over 50% that it was going to happen, if I had to bet.
So, with around 10 minutes left, Dunn had (from memory here) something like 15+ points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 steals.
The Friars had a 10 point lead, so KD was legitimately still in the game.
He got a rebound for a double-double and a 9th assist.
He was called for at least 1 foul trying to pick the NJIT PG's pocket.
He was as usual very active in passing lanes but couldn't grab a steal.
With under 2 minutes, NJIT fouled him just as he whipped an alley-oop to Bentil for a dunk. It was an unnecessary foul call at that point. Just let them play. That would've been a nice highlight to cap off a triple-double. With the game in hand under 45 seconds, NJIT was pretty much triple teaming Dunn off the ball to keep the triple-double from happening against them. But he definitely had a chance of making history.
Anyway, KD is going to be really fun to watch all season.
