In the final minutes of Wednesday's game against Alabama State, Grambling State University's Shakyla Hill solidified her spot in NCAA women's basketball history. With an assist to Monisha Neal for a 3-pointer, Hill became the first player to finish with a quadruple-double in almost 25 years, first player — male or female — from an HBCU and the fourth woman overall to complete the feat.

With Hill's 15 points, 10 rebounds 10 assists and 10 steals, Hill helped the Tigers beat the Hornets 93-71. After making history, Hill gained thousands of Instagram followers, but the junior guard told ESPN she was hoping to hear from LeBron James.


By the end of the week, Hill got her wish. James, who said he was at a taco spot when he heard the news of Hill's history-making moment, extended his congratulations to Hill, reports Sports Illustrated.

"Me and Swish (J.R. Smith) was like 'holy sh**, that's impressive,'" James said Saturday. "It doesn't matter what level you at, what type of league you in, male or female, you able to get a quadruple-double in any facet, obviously not with turnovers. She did it with steals.

"Did you see her stat line at halftime? She had like four points, three rebounds, three steals, three assists. Like, and she went off in the second half, so big congratulations to her for sure."

According to The Undefeated, Arkansas State's Sonja Tate was the last woman to record a quadruple-double with 29 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals against Mississippi State in 1993. In January 1991, Lamar's Ramona Jones recorded a quadruple-double with 10-10-10 and 12 steals against Central Florida. Two years earlier, Loyola Chicago's Veronica Pettry finished with the first official quadruple-double in women's Division I history with 12 points, 10 rebounds, 22 assists and 11 steals.

Unofficially, Louisville's Jackie Spencer finished with the very first quadruple-double in Division I NCAA history with 12 points, 12 rebounds, 14 assists and 10 steals against Cincinnati in 1985. However, it would be two more years before steals were recorded as an official NCAA stat.
