Oscar Tshiebwe leaving West Virginia made the Mountaineers a better team, says Bob Huggins

It is obvious now that Oscar Tshiebwe should have come to Kentucky in 2019, or at least somewhere other than Morgantown.

Though he had a great freshmen campaign at West Virginia two years ago, it’s safe to say Tshiebwe’s career with the Mountaineers ended on a sour note.

Tshiebwe was set for a breakout sophomore season, but West Virginia coach Bob Huggins brought in another player with a similar skill set and that caused some spacing issues for the Mountaineers. He told the media during a press conference for the NCAA Tournament that it helped his team run the offense with Tshiebwe out of the picture.
