What a year it’s been for Kentucky Wildcat Oscar Tshiebwe.

Those efforts of fighting for every rebound like it’s his last, beating all nine players down the court on a fast break, leading his team in the huddle and making every single fan feel equally as important have earned him a spot as a midseason finalist for the Naismith Trophy Player of the Year award on Thursday.
