It was a tale of two games for Oscar Tshiebwe against Florida. When the Gators amped up the intensity inside, he was at his best, often times away from the basket.
“That was a rough house game,” John Calipari said Wednesday night. “Florida never stopped playing and they were gritty as hell.”
So was Oscar Tshiebwe. The last time he faced the Gators, Kentucky’s reigning National Player of the Year was just 2-of-14 from the field. He flipped the script in Gainesville by knocking down 12-of-13 shots to score 25 points.
