Tuesday Headlines: Oscar Tshiebwe Awards

The Kentucky Wildcats might have had a disappointing first-year exit in the NCAA Tournament, but they were fortunate enough to have National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe.

The West Virginia transfer, who joined the Wildcats at the halfway point of last season, averaged 17.4 points and 15.2 rebounds per game this season.

On top of his impressive numbers, Tshiebwe made history, having the most rebounds per game in the NCAA since 1980. He was an absolute force in the paint for the Wildcats. His 5.3 offensive boards per game helped the Cats win numerous games.
