Jelani McCoy recorded his notable triple-double on December 9, 1995, while playing for the UCLA Bruins men's basketball against the Maryland Terrapins men's basketball in the John R. Wooden Classic at Anaheim.
Game details:
Date: December 9, 1995
Opponent: Maryland
Result: UCLA won 73–63
Stat line:
15 points
10 rebounds
11 blocks
This gave McCoy a triple-double (points, rebounds, blocks)—a rare type because most triple-doubles involve assists instead of blocks.
Why the performance was notable:
McCoy was only an 18-year-old freshman center at the time.
His 11 blocks set a UCLA single-game record.
With 8 turnovers, he was actually two turnovers away from a quadruple-double (points, rebounds, blocks, turnovers).
