Oscar Tshiebwe's dominant performance powers Kentucky past Georgia, 85-71

Oscar Tshiebwe might need to add another shelf to his trophy cabinet.

On Tuesday night in Rupp Arena, the Kentucky Wildcats leaned on a masterclass performance from Tshiebwe, who exploded for 37 points and 24 rebounds, to blow past the Georgia Bulldogs, 85-71. After trailing by eight points at the break, Kentucky outscored UGA 51-29 in the second half to pick up its second straight victory. Per UK statistician Corey Price, Tshiebwe is the first Wildcat to register at least 30 points and 20 rebounds in a game since Mike Phillips in 1976.
