Oklahoma guard Trae Young tied the NCAA record for most assists in a game with 22 in Tuesday's 105-68 win over Northwestern State. Three other players have tallied 22 assists in a game—Sherman Douglas (Syracuse) in 1989, Tony Fairley (Charleston Southern) in 1987 and Avery Johnson (Southern) in 1988.

Young's total broke the previous Big 12 record of 18, which was set by Doug Gottlieb (Oklahoma State) in 1998 and Michael Johnson (Oklahoma) in 1997.

Young, who leads the nation in scoring with 28.8 points per game, also scored 26 points to go along with his record assist total.
