Florida’s Thomas Haugh accomplishes remarkable feat in Mississippi State win
Published:
Florida’s Thomas Haugh accomplished a remarkable feat in the Gators’ 81-68 win over Mississippi State on Tuesday night.
The Florida guard nearly put up a triple-double off the bench. He contributed 16 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists while also adding 2 blocks and 2 steals. According to Florida’s sports information department, Haugh is the first SEC player to record 15+ points, 8+ rebounds, 8+ assists, 2+ blocks and 2+ steals in the same game since former Kentucky guard John Wall did so in 2010.

Even when venturing outside the SEC, Haugh’s accomplishment is meaningful. Only 12 power-conference players reached those benchmarks since 2010, according to Radar360. The list includes future NBA players such as Klay Thompson, Derrick White, Draymond Green and Monte Morris, amongst others. Haugh is also 1 of just 2 players (Purdue’s Trevion Williams) to hit those numbers in a game while coming off the bench since 2014-15.
Haugh is in the midst of a breakout sophomore campaign for a very talented Florida team. He’s averaging 8.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists so far during the 2024-25 season.
Haugh and the Gators will look to notch another win on Saturday as they host South Carolina.
