Today, CBS Sports released its preseason All-America teams for the sport of men’s collegiate basketball, and Kentucky’s own Oscar Tshiewbe earned recognition. Tshiebwe was named to CBS’s Preseason All-America First Team alongside Drew Timme (Gonzaga), Armando Bacot (North Carolina), Marcus Sasser (Houston), and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (UCLA).
