KSR Today: It's Oscar TshiebDAY!

Good morning, folks! Apparently, today is Oscar TshiebDAY here on the internet. So it’s time to celebrate.

After playing the best game of his college career on Tuesday night, Kentucky’s reigning national player of the year, Oscar Tshiebwe, is being honored a little extra today. Tshiebwe exploded for 37 points and 24 rebounds in a win over Georgia — the first such stat line for a Wildcat since Mike Phillips in 1976 — which prompted some fans online to bring more attention to the big man’s all-around dominance. As a result, we now have Oscar TshiebDAY, which the Kentucky men’s basketball social media accounts have been embracing.
