We’re beginning to run out of superlatives for Oscar Tshiebwe.
His game-by-game dominance is almost expected at this point by both his team and the Kentucky fanbase. Every passing double-double loses its luster a bit, only because it’s happening so often. Watching him grab 20 rebounds in back-to-back outings was incredible. But now with a 28-rebound game under his belt, anything below that feels underwhelming.
His most recent outing was a perfect example of how Tshiebwe has turned a record-performing season into a regular occurrence. The 6-foot-9 West Virginia transfer dropped a career-high 29 points and 17 rebounds in a win over the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday night, shooting 13-21 from the floor while blocking two shots, as well.
