While he can’t speak for the rest of his teammates, Oscar Tshiebwe can confidently say he gave it his all on Saturday afternoon.
The Kentucky big man played a hell of a game in the Wildcats’ tightly-contested 75-73 loss to Arkansas down in Bud Walton Arena. Tshiebwe tied his career-high in points with 30 on an efficient 13-21 shooting clip. And in typical Big O fashion, he hauled in 18 rebounds to add to his ridiculous stat line that also included two assists, three blocks, and one steal.
With his efforts, Tshiebwe became the first Wildcat since Dan Issel all the way back in 1970 to record at least 30 points and 18 rebounds in an SEC road game, according to Corey Price.
