  • The NCAA officially recorded assists for two seasons in the early 1950s, but discontinued the practice after the 1951–52 season, not resuming until the 1984–85 season. Steals and blocks were not officially added as NCAA statistics until the 1986–87 season. As a result, the NCAA only officially recognizes tournament triple-doubles recorded from 1987 onward.
