Against Arizona State on Nov. 28, freshman De'Aaron Fox achieved the second triple-double in the history of Kentucky's basketball program. He had 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
Or did he?
One of the assists was questioned, in part, because Fox did not make a direct pass to the scorer, Malik Monk. Plus Monk dribbled twice and stutter-stepped before shooting.
After reviewing the play, it was announced that the assist would not be removed, therefore allowing Fox to keep his place in program history.
"I didn't care," Fox said of the questioning. "I'm not playing for stats."
Fox said he was aware after the game that one of his assists was being questioned.
Fox said he watched a replay of the play and wondered, "How is this controversial?"
When asked if he meant it was obvious his pass was or was not an assist, Fox said, "Clearly wasn't. But I'm not going to tell them to change it."
