How Delaney Gibb just made history for BYU

Three games into her junior campaign, Delaney Gibb may have notched her most impressive all-around performance at BYU to date.

The Cougars’ star point guard recorded a triple-double Saturday with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Montana, marking the program’s first triple-double since 1986.

“It looked like a fun game to play in, and then we had an amazing individual statistical night from our point guard,” BYU coach Lee Cummard said postgame. “I can’t believe that it’s been 40 years since we had a triple-double, but that’s pretty cool.”

Prior to Gibb, the last BYU triple-double that included 10 or more assists rather than blocks came in 1982.

Gibb’s 10 assists are a new career high, and it was the fourth time she’s ever grabbed at least 10 rebounds, even doing so in BYU’s previous outing against Portland.

“I think I focused a lot on rebounding, just these past couple games because I feel like shooting will come, so I think that’s kind of what fueled it tonight,” Gibb said.

“I just have to give thanks to my teammates, they came in clutch and knocked down big-time shots.”

Led by Gibb’s efforts, BYU is 3-0 on the young season, having won three games in five days this past week.

Gibb is averaging 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists per game, shooting 36% from 3-point range as well.
