John Calipari expands on his call for Oscar Tshiebwe to spend more time in the gym

Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari made waves Monday night during his call-in show when he called for Oscar Tshiebwe to spend more time in the gym.

It seemed a bit odd to call out his best player following the breakthrough win at Tennessee, but it’s no secret that Tshiebwe hasn’t been the same player that became the school’s first consensus National Player of the Year last season.

Tshiebwe certainly got the message, as he turned in a career night the following day vs. the Georgia Bulldogs, erupting for a career-high 37 points to go with 24 rebounds while carrying the Cats to an 85-71 victory.
