Ex-Maryland guard Gillespie transfers to Tennessee

Former Maryland guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie announced Friday that he's transferring to Tennessee.

After two years at Belmont, Gillespie joined the Terrapins this season. He was named to the All-Big Ten third team with averages of 14.7 points, 4.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.9 steals.

Maryland reached the Sweet 16 before losing to No. 1 Florida - the school's best showing since 2016. Head coach Kevin Willard left to fill Villanova's vacancy, while the school replaced him with Texas A&M bench boss Buzz Williams.

Tennessee made the Elite Eight for the second straight season.
