Oscar Tshiebwe notches 1,000 career-points at Kentucky in Florida win

Kentucky big man Oscar Tshiebwe shined in Wednesday’s 82-74 win over Florida, leading all scorers with 25 points.

The 25 points were significant for another reason though, as they saw Tshiebwe secure his 1,000th point as a Kentucky Wildcat.

Tshiebwe knocked down a jumper just behind the free throw line that banked into the net to notch the achievement.

Making the figure more impressive is that Tshiebwe reached 1,000 points in just 60 games for Kentucky, having started his collegiate career at West Virginia before transferring to Lexington.

Tshiebwe is averaging 16.7 points per game for Kentucky so far, which helped him reach 1,000 points so quickly.
