It's time to start Oscar Tshiebwe's National Player of the Year campaign

We know Oscar Tshiebwe the rebounding machine. For the second game in a row, we got to see Oscar Tshiebwe the scoring machine. Kentucky’s junior big man finished with a career-high 30 points and 13 rebounds in the Cats’ 78-66 win over Vanderbilt, his 12th double-double of the season.

Oscar is the first Kentucky player with at least 30 points and at least 10 rebounds in a game since Patrick Patterson had 33 points and 11 rebounds on Dec. 22, 2008 vs. Tennessee State. Over the last two games, Oscar is averaging a staggering 29.
