Joshua Jefferson is as versatile of a big man as there is in college basketball.

Just how versatile? Glad you asked.

In a win for Iowa State over Lipscomb in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, Jefferson did something no other player has done before in the event.

Jefferson became the first player to ever record a stat line that included 10 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, three steals and two blocked shots in a single game.
