Arkansas has a 6-foot-9, 265-pound problem on its hands this week in Lexington, and his name is Oscar Tshiebwe.

College basketball’s reigning national player of the year went for 30 points on three occasions last season and pulled down 18 rebounds seven different times. During Kentucky‘s trip to Fayetteville, Tshiebwe hit both of those marks, going for 30 and 18 to go with three blocks, two assists and one steal while shooting 13-21 from the field and 4-7 from the line.
