Giving up triples might earn Theo Pinson a triple-double
Posted Jan 8, 2018
In the entire history of UNC men’s basketball, there have been just two recorded triple-doubles. Brendan Haywood logged the first Tar Heel triple-double on Dec. 4, 2000 against Miami. Jason Capel followed 13 days later against Buffalo. One would think that surely another player had achieved a triple-double at some point. But you would be wrong. Enter Theo Pinson.
