Triple-doubles (see Final Four records section for other tournament triple-doubles)
Assists were not recorded nationally by the NCAA until the 1984–85 season, and 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.
