Oscar Tshiebwe named First Team All-American by Sporting News

The end-of-the-year accolades are starting to pour in for Oscar Tshiebwe. This morning, Oscar was named First Team All-American by The Sporting News. If he earns the same honor from the Associated Press, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), and the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA), he will be a consensus First Team All-American, the 22nd in Kentucky Basketball history.

Oscar was a unanimous selection, appearing on the first team of every ballot of The Sporting News’ panel of college basketball experts. After the season he’s had, it’s no wonder.
