Oscar Tshiebwe breaks a shot clock-era rebounding record

The Kentucky Wildcats are back in the NCAA Tournament win column, defeating the Providence Friars by a 61-53 margin in the Round of 64.

In what was a defensive struggle throughout, Kentucky senior forward Oscar Tshiebwe had one of the greatest rebounding games of all time, pulling down 25 boards in just 33 minutes of play.

When looking at the best ever, many NCAA basketball records are divided before vs. after the shot-clock era, which began in the 1985-86 season.

You actually have to go all the way back to 1968 to find another player who grabbed 25+ rebounds in a first-round NCAA Tournament game.
