Kentucky got its first win over an opponent other than themselves tonight, a 95-72 victory over Kentucky Wesleyan, but what does that injury report look like ahead of the real season opener vs. Duke on November 9? Judging by John Calipari’s remarks, uncertain.
Oscar Tshiebwe started tonight and played 17 minutes despite a minor hip injury. Even so, the big man finished with 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, and a plus/minus of +26, second only to Sahvir Wheeler at +27. Calipari did not seem worried about Tshiebwe after the game but wanted to see more from his other bigs in Big O’s absence.
