The ultimate guide to Oregon women's basketball star Sabrina Ionescu

Sabrina Ionescu helped lead Oregon to its first Final Four in 2019 and broke the men's and women's NCAA record for career triple-doubles. ESPN.com

Before Sabrina Ionescu took her game to the WNBA, she left her mark on the NCAA record books. The 5-foot-11 guard -- who was the consensus national player of the year in 2020 and also was the Wade Trophy and Wooden Award winner in 2019 -- is the only player in NCAA history, male or female, to collect 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 1,000 assists in a career.

But the former Oregon All-American also holds the NCAA record for most career triple-doubles (26), which she set over four seasons with the Ducks before the 2019-20 season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The previous record for career triple-doubles was 12 by Kyle Collinsworth (BYU, 2012-16). Ionescu, who amassed 2,562 points, 1,040 rebounds and 1,091 assists in college, also holds the NCAA single-season record for triple-doubles, with eight in both 2018-19 and 2019-20.
