Kentucky and Kansas showcased their respective Player of the Year candidates on Saturday night, with the one in a Wildcat uniform coming out ahead in both the box score and win column.
UK’s Oscar Tshiebwe got the best of KU’s Ochai Agbaji in Kentucky’s 80-62 drumming of Kansas inside of Allen Fieldhouse. The Wildcat big man dropped a cool 17 points and 14 rebounds on 8-13 shooting, dominating the glass in his typical fashion while feasting in the paint against an undersized Jayhawk frontcourt.
Agbaji, on the other hand, was held in check for nearly the full 40 minutes.
