Theo Pinson will record a triple-double

Theo would be only the third player in UNC history to record a triple-double. Props to you if you can name the other two… Brendan Haywood, and Jason Capel.

We all know how effective Pinson can be for UNC, by just watching his first two games back. In his first appearance back, Pinson recorded five assists, and zero turnovers, in limited minutes. Over the last two seasons, Theo has shown that he is best playmaker on the team.

Theo has also shown he has a strong knack for cleaning up the boards. The best thing about Pinson’s rebounding, is that he can grab the rebound, and immediately run the fast break.

Being able to do that allows Pinson the opportunity to get rebounds, and assists in the same sequence.

While scoring would normally be the easiest, it might be harder for Theo. Getting ten assists and ten points in a game is hard for anybody, much less a two-guard, or small forward. Getting a triple double in college basketball is much harder than the NBA.

But if anybody could do it for this Tar Heel team, Theo would have the best shot to do it.
