With 1 minute, 13 seconds left in Nevada basketball’s second-round NIT game against Liberty, Corey Camper Jr. dished a pass to Elijah Price under the rim for an easy layup.<\/p>\n
The bucket put Nevada up 69-61, icing the Wolf Pack’s come-from-behind victory. It also gave Camper his 10th assist, capping a rare triple-double. While Camper had an off shooting night \u2014 he was 4-of-14 overall and 0-of-5 from three \u2014 he found other ways to contribute heavily to Nevada’s 73-63 win that moved Nevada into the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
The ESPN broadcast credited Camper with Nevada’s first triple-double since 1979, which was off a little. The network missed Kenan Blackshear’s triple-double just four years ago. While that game was against non-Division I opponent William Jessup, it was still an official regular-season contest. Below are the seven triple-doubles in Nevada history since the Wolf Pack joined Division I.<\/p>\n
Nevada triple-doubles<\/p>\n
Corey Camper Jr. (10 points\/13 rebounds\/10 assists) \u2014 2026<\/p>\n
Kenan Blackshear (12 points\/10 rebounds\/10 assists) \u2014 2022<\/p>\n
Johnny High (15 points\/11 rebounds\/11 assists) \u2014 1979<\/p>\n
Edgar Jones (22\/26 rebounds\/10 blocks) \u2014 1977<\/p>\n
Pete Padgett (15 points\/17 rebounds\/11 assists) \u2014 1976<\/p>\n
Pete Padgett (17 points\/30 rebounds\/10 assists) \u2014 1973<\/p>\n
Doug Hixon (11 points\/11 rebounds\/10 assists) \u2014 1971<\/p>\n
Five of those seven triple-doubles came in the 1970s when record-keeping might not have been quite as accurate. Since then, Nevada has had just two triple-doubles in the last 46 seasons. <\/p>\n
Many Wolf Pack players have flirted with a triple-double since then. Stat-stuffer Lindsey Drew nearly had a triple-double twice, posting 12 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists in a 2018 win over San Diego State with an 11\/14\/8 game against Bradley in 2016. In a 2018 win over Colorado State, Cody Martin had 17 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds. Jalen Harris had 16 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in a 2019 win at Santa Clara. Armon Johnson had 22 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds against Houston in a 2009 win. And AJ West had 16 points, 10 assists and eight blocks in a 2015 loss to Fresno State. <\/p>\n
But only six Wolf Pack players have recorded a triple-double, with Camper the latest to join the list and first to do so in a postseason game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With 1 minute, 13 seconds left in Nevada basketball’s second-round NIT game against Liberty, Corey Camper Jr. dished…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559649,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-559648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559648\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
