What Is the Record For Most Assists in an NCAA Tournament Game?

University of Nevada Las Vegas's Mark Wade holds the NCAA tournament record for single-game assists with 18 dimes dished in the Rebels' 97–93 loss to Indiana in the 1987 national championship semifinal game in the Superdome.

The 5'11" point guard also holds the NCAA tournament record for most assists dished during a tournament run. He made 61 total assists through five games during the 1987 tournament for another tournament-high average of 12.2 assists per game. His March Madness assist records followed the NCAA record Wade set in 1986–87 for assists in a season, with 406 in 38 games.
