Kentucky opponents are attacking Oscar Tshiebwe. Saturday at Arkansas he responded and it almost cost the Cats.
Arkansas brought its trademark physicality to the paint, rattling the Kentucky center in the first half. Makhel Mitchell got into an early shoving match with Tshiebwe, who retaliated with an elbow. Mitchell had an over the top response, throwing an ice-pack on a part of his face that didn’t get touched, yet it still could have been a Flagrant II foul that resulted in an ejection for Oscar Tshiebwe.
Here's the Oscar Tshiebwe elbow.
