LEXINGTON – Oscar Tshiebwe insists he is screaming a warning to Sahvir Wheeler.
But now twice that warning has not been loud enough, leaving Wheeler to run unprotected into a screener with a weight advantage of more than 50 pounds.
At LSU, the 5-foot-9, 180-pound Wheeler missed the last 35 minutes and each of the next two games after colliding with 7-foot, 238-pound center Efton Reid. At Auburn, he was forced to the locker room for a critical stretch after running into 7-foot-1, 245-pound center Walker Kessler.
