Kentucky faces an Oscar-like problem at Florida
Oscar Tshiebwe was a one-of-a-kind talent and person at Kentucky. Truly one of one. Florida doesn’t have an Oscar Tshiebwe, but Rueben Chinyelu is doing his best Oscar impersonation on the glass. Florida’s big man ranks second in the entire country in rebounding and leads the Southeastern Conference by three rebounds per game. He averages nearly 11.8 per game on the year and even more against SEC competition (13.0).
Last night, Chinyelu hauled in 20 rebounds in Florida’s win at Georgia. Before that, games of 16 rebounds at Texas A&M and 17 rebounds against Alabama. He’s also had two 21-rebound games and is on pace to be the first Gator to average double-digit rebounds in 50 years.
