TRIPLE THREAT
Kyle Anderson has come within three assists of recording a triple-double in three games at UCLA. He twice finished three assists shy of the coveted mark in Dec. 2012. Anderson had 12 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in UCLA’s 72-67 win over Drexel on Friday, Nov. 8 (UCLA’s season opener). The sophomore from Fairview, N.J., is looking to become the first UCLA player to record a point-rebound-assist triple-double since Toby Bailey had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Stephen F. Austin during his sophomore season (Dec. 18, 1995).
