2. Aaron Henry records a triple-double

Aaron Henry is on fire this season. He’s been one of the best defenders in all of college basketball, he’s growing into a serious leader and his offense is starting to pick up. If he could only trust his jumper a little more, he could be a monster and potential first-round pick in next year’s draft.

One thing that has been growingly evident with Henry this season is the fact that he stuffs the stat sheet every game.

Henry has scored at least 10 points in all but one game and he has at least five rebounds in three out of four games as well. He has dished at least five assists in three games and averages 2.3 blocks and 2.3 steals per game. He’s been outstanding this season in every aspect except for foul trouble as he averages 3.5 per game.

I said it before the month of December that I felt like Henry would have at least one triple-double in non-conference play and I think it comes against Western Michigan.
