Looking at those who are the historical thieves, Darrun Hilliard's 113 steals places him 27th on Villanova's All-Time Steals List. Should the rising senior, who recently attended the Kevin Durant and LeBron James Skill Camps, tally 50 steals in his fourth year campaign, he would pass Dante Cunningham and into 13th place on the All-Time List.

After two years playing for the Jay Wright's squad, Ryan Arcidiacono has 75 assists under his belt and rising senior JayVaughn Pinkston has 85; both are a lock to make the list of those with 100 Steals during the 2014-15 season. James Bell's steal total of 44 during his senior put the graduate into the Top 30 of all-time steals with 'Nova.

Turning our attention to the prized big man statistic of blocked shots Daniel Ochefu, has tallied 75 blocks in two seasons in the paint for the Wildcats. That number places him in 15th place on Villanova's All-Time Blocks List. If he is to maintain that pace over the next two season, he has a legitimate shot to finish in the top six of all time 'Nova Shot Swatters.
