3rd triple double in Marquette history.

1st since D Wade.

Kam passes to his roommate and fellow 4 year star Stevie to enter the record books.

How can you not be romantic about Marquette Basketball?

So proud to be a Marquette fan, I got the full misties.

I've never been more certain that a Stevie jump shot was going in than that one.  It is what any sports movie screen writer would have happen

I felt the same way.  Stevie wasn't going to miss that one given the significance.  Special moment!

Especially considering that Stevie is not a prolific 3 point shooter. Stevie's make was HUGE!!!

Was trying to be low-key but when Stevie hit that 3 I hollered out a whoop.

I totally did the same!

I punched the air.  This is the benefit of having players 4 years.  Watching them grow and evolve.   Appreciate it.

Kam was amazing with the triple double, but perhaps just as amazing was his willingness to stand in the corner while being face guarded and let MU take Purdue apart playing  4-on-4 at times.  He's the best player on the court by miles, a senior with a green light, used to take some questionable shots, and he damn near played a perfect game.  What he has done for himself, by embracing the coaching around him, is one of the more amazing things I've witnessed at MU.  He owned that game. 

Stewie?

Wasn't Kolek a rebound away from one at DePaul two seasons ago?

Avid

Agree completely. In addition, he is showing outstanding leadership for this team. A true success story.

I recall Tyler flirting with a triple double, but I don't remember the specific numbers.

Yeah, Kam is going to have his rebounding numbers skyrocket this year because Shaka wants his PG hitting the glass when shots go up to quickly initiate the offense. That was the reason Tyler was second on the team in rebounding last year.

That's his nickname.

Correct.  The game at DePaul in the 2022-23 season he had 24 points, 10 assists, and 9 rebounds.

Kam has been my wife's favorite player since his Freshman year. She loved him because he'd take a 30' shot, get yanked by Shaka, and then return and take another 30' shot. She loved his spirit and predicted at the time that he'd be a special player.

But was he the SOTG that night?

No studs when you lose or when you play DePaw

My wife came out of the room (game started at 10 PM last night here) and told me to calm down

I just gave a silent air punch because my wife had dozed off on the couch.

Can always tell a big moment when it draws high-fives from random fans in your vicinity.

Last night was one of those moments.

I was holding my baby who had drifted off. I tried to be as calm as possible but my "woo go Kam!" Scared her and she started screaming, she calmed down when I explained what a triple double was.

I was decidedly not silent at Fiserv last night.
