Olivia Miles has historic triple-double as TCU bests UC San Diego
Olivia Miles had her 12th career triple-double as third-seeded TCU beat UC San Diego 86-40 in a first-round NCAA tournament game Friday,
Miles finished with 12 points and career highs of 16 rebounds and 14 assists. Taylor Bigby added a career-high 27 points for the Frogs (30-5), who got double-doubles from Clara Silva (13 points, 11 rebounds) and Marta Suarez (11 points, 10 rebounds).
"I would be happy with zero points and 20 assists, but once I heard that I had 10 rebounds early on, I was like OK, so I have to go get it now," Miles said.
Miles became only the third player with multiple triple-doubles in a women's NCAA tournament game, with her other coming while at Notre Dame in 2022. Sabrina Ionescu with Oregon in 2018 and 2019 and Nicole Powell for Stanford in back-to-back games in 2002 are the other players with multiple triple-doubles in the NCAA tournament.

The first day of the women’s NCAA tournament is now in the books, and things largely went according to plan.
But there was still some history made, and plenty of entertaining basketball being played across the country.
Olivia Miles went off on Friday afternoon to kick off the NCAA tournament.
Miles recorded her 12th career triple-double while leading No. 3 TCU past UC San Diego in a blowout on Friday to reach the second round. Miles had 12 points to go with 16 rebounds and 14 assists, both of which were career-highs. The 14 assists set a TCU single-game school record.
Miles is now just the third player in history to record a triple-double in multiple NCAA tournament games. She had her first when she was with Notre Dame back in 2022. New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu did so with Oregon, and Nicole Powell was the first to ever pull that off back in 2002 at Stanford.
