.@Vol_Hoops’ Ja’Kobi Gillespie is the first SEC player ever with two eight-steal outings in league action. He did it in a four-game span.
Gillespie is also the only DI player in the last 15 years (2011-26) with 26 points, eight steals, seven assists and five rebounds in a game.
In last night's @Vol_Hoops win over Oklahoma, Ja'Kobi Gillespie became just the eighth player in the last 20 seasons (2006-26) with 16 points, eight assists & eight steals against a DI foe.
He's the only one to log that stat line versus a Power Five team in the past two decades.
