Hoop's Harrison Athlete Of Week

Boulder - David Harrison became just the second Buffalo to record a triple-double, doing so in Colorado's 107-74 victory over Stetson at the Coors Events Conference Center on Sunday night.

Harrison's night included 31 points, a school-record 10 blocks and 17 rebounds. The only other Buffalo to record a triple-double was Chauncey Billups, who achieved the feat on Dec. 2, 1995, against George Mason.

Harrison's career night came just two nights after the Buffaloes beat Cal-Poly 97-69 to open the season. In that game, Harrison had 18 points, six blocks and six boards.
