Orlando Antigua thinks Oscar Tshiebwe is the NPOY; also speaks on potential senior season

With the regular season coming to a close, the Kentucky Wildcats have the front-runner for the National Player of the Year awards in Oscar Tshiebwe.

What Oscar has done this season has been nothing short of great, as he has continually put up numbers fans haven’t seen in the last few decades. Many took it as a joke when Oscar mentioned at media day that he would like to average 20 rebounds per game.

Well, he’s currently averaging 15.2 boards per game, the highest of any player in all of college basketball. That includes five games of 20+ boards, and he grabbed 28 in the win over Western Kentucky.
