STANFORD, Calif. – Oregon star Sabrina Ionescu became the first player, man or woman, to reach 2,000 points, 1,000 assists and 1,000 rebounds in NCAA Division I basketball history.

Ionescu notched her record 26th career triple-double hours after speaking at Kobe Bryant’s memorial service, leading No. 3 Oregon past fourth-ranked Stanford 74-66 on Monday night. She hit the milestone on a defensive rebound with 1:47 remaining in the third quarter and finished with 21 points, 12 assists and 12 rebounds in her first triple-double against a top-10 opponent and eighth overall this season to help Oregon (26-2, 15-1 Pac-12) clinch at least a share of its third straight Pac-12 regular-season title.

Ionescu got to 1,000 assists in a win at UCLA on Feb. 14. She had her NCAA-record 25th career triple-double at California on Friday night – also most in the men’s or women’s game. She came into Monday’s game needing nine rebounds for the 1,000 mark.

She now has 2,467, 1,041 assists and 1,003 rebounds, helping Oregon secure Monday at least 15 conference wins for a third consecutive season.

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry sat on the baseline supporting Ionescu and women’s basketball for the second straight game she played in Northern California after he was in Berkeley with his two daughters Friday night. He watched Oregon run its winning streak to 14 in a row and nine straight on the road.

Earlier Monday, Ionescu joined two other icons of women's basketball — Connecticut women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma and WNBA superstar and former UConn legend Diana Taurasi — at "A Celebration of Life,” a public memorial for Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna “Gigi” Bryant — both among nine dead in a helicopter crash Jan. 26

The speakers and performers apparently were chosen by Vanessa Bryant — a lineup of strong women who reached for their dreams, including those Kobe was mentoring and wanted Gigi to consider role models. Gigi Bryant played youth basketball and aspired to play at Connecticut under Auriemma and then in the WNBA. Kobe and Gigi died on the way to one of her tournaments.

Ionescu dedicated Monday's history-making performance to Kobe.

“That one was for him. To do it on 2-24-20 was huge,” she told ESPN postgame. “We talked about it in the preseason. I can’t put it into words. He’s looking down and proud of me and happy for this moment with my team.”

Ionescu, the NCAA’s all-time leader in triple-doubles, also wrote an essay in "The Players’ Tribune" published Monday, the same day as her appearance on center stage at the memorial. She considered Bryant a mentor.

“Kobe’s death also left me with some questions about my own path,” she wrote. “What was I supposed to do now without his presence?? Without his guidance?? Who was I going to turn to for advice?? And then on top of those thoughts, I had these almost even “angrier” questions, you know?? Like: How could the world have brought me together with someone like Kobe, someone who understood me so well — maybe the first person in my life who truly got me on this deeper basketball level — only to then rip him out of my life after less than a year?! And why?! It just felt cruel. It still feels that way.”
