Delrecco Gillespie - Five straight double-doubles Gillespie accumulated 26 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Sunday's 76-72 OT victory over Wright State.

Impact Gillespie broke out towards the end of the 2024-25 season, averaging 11.1 points and 10.9 rebounds over the final 15 games while settling into a starting role. A step up in production was a reasonable expectation entering his senior season, but few could have imagined he would start the season with five consecutive double-doubles while representing a top-50 nationwide scorer and shooting a career-best 60.0 percent from the field. Gillespie has also been strong on the defensive end, recording at least one block in all five games and averaging 2.2 rejections per contest. Simply put, he's been one of the best fantasy assets in nationwide formats through the first two game weeks.

Impact Gillespie's career game wasn't enough to power Kent State to a victory, but he definitely showed that he will be a force in the MAC this season. The 6-8 forward is coming off a solid junior campaign in which he became a nightly double-double threat. Gillespie should continue that as a senior. Kent State will face Cornell on Friday.
