Oscar Tshiebwe’s odds to win National Player of the Year are rising

Oscar Tshiebwe has been a superstar for the Kentucky Wildcats this season, and he’s now in a great spot to be named National Player of the Year.

With two games remaining in the regular season, Oscar is averaging 16.9 points, 15.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.5 blocks, and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 59% from the field.

After his 30-point/18-rebound performance Saturday at Arkansas, Oscar officially passed Frank Ramsey for the fourth-most rebounds in a single season in program history with 445 thus far.

The three ahead of his are:

1) Bill Spivey: 567 in 1950-51

2) Cliff Hagan: 525 in 1951-52

3) Bob Burrow: 459 in 1954-55

Keep climbing, @Oscartshiebwe34

Up to No.
