Ulis is amazing with his 27 points and 12 assists. It's been some time to see a UK player with a double-double with that many assists and points. I looked it up best I could it looks like Ulis has the most points when you combine it with assists. See what you think..

Looks like it to me as well CMD. I wouldn't trade Tyler Ulis for any point guard in the country. His stats are rivaling the best pgs. to ever play at Kentucky. And that's saying something.
