Oscar Tshiebwe showed the Big Blue Nation exactly what they wanted to see out of Kentucky’s new 6-foot-9, 255-pound behemoth in the paint. The former West Virginia transfer, who played all 40 minutes for the Blue Team, bullied his Wildcat teammates all night long on Friday. Tshiebwe posted an eye-popping 25 points (on 12-15 shooting) to go along with a team-high 21 rebounds, 14 of them coming on the offensive glass.
A scrimmage is still a scrimmage (and the Blue team won handily), but Tshiebwe did precisely what was expected of him–dominate the glass and run the floor.
