John Calipari defends Oscar Tshiebwe following petty remarks by Bob Huggins

In case you missed it, West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins made some rather unflattering comments about one of his former players, Oscar Tshiebwe, who left the Mountaineers midseason last year.

Tshiebwe ultimately would join the Kentucky Wildcats as arguably the biggest transfer of the 2020-21 cycle, and it’s paid off massively for John Calipari’s program. The 6-foot-9 Congolese forward currently leads all of Division I in rebounds per game, and he’s a big reason why Kentucky is a top 15 team that could end up making a deep NCAA Tournament run.
