Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe was named Associated Press men’s college basketball player of the year on Friday.
Tshiebwe is only the second Kentucky player in history to win the award with Anthony Davis being the other in 2012.
Here is an excerpt from the AP:
Tshiebwe was the clear choice for the award announced Friday, receiving 46 of 60 votes from AP Top 25 voters. Johnny Davis, a 6-5 sophomore who averaged 19.7 points and led Wisconsin to a share of the Big Ten regular-season title, was second with 10 votes. Iowa sophomore Keegan Murray (three) and Illinois big man Kofi Cockburn (one) also earned votes.
