Hochman: The Thief of Columbia, Mizzou's D'Moi Hodge, leads SEC in steals

The Thief of Columbia has pulled off 54 heists, each cunning in its own way, imprinted with a touch of creativity and ingenuity, deception and, sometimes literally, deflection.

Some of his contemporaries go for jewels or art, but the Thief of Columbia prefers something with little value, yet irrefutably rewarding.

His name is D’Moi Hodge and he leads the Southeastern Conference in steals.

In fact, only 11 players in the nation average more steals per game than the Mizzou guard’s 2.3, yet only three are from a high-major conference.

Hodge changes the flow of games with his steals.
