Tshiebwe leads No. 15 Kentucky against North Florida after 20-point game
No. 15 Kentucky hosts the North Florida Ospreys after Oscar Tshiebwe scored 20 points in Kentucky's 88-72 loss to the Gonzaga BulldogsNOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Double-double across game started Tshiebwe provided 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 88-72 loss to Gonzaga.
Impact Tshiebwe has two double-doubles across his three games played as a senior. And fortunately for his fantasy managers, he finally started after being a backup or inactive across Kentucky's previous four games. While the senior continues being a part of their starting lineup, nothing better than the best is expected from one of college basketball's top prospects.

Returns in emphatic fashion Tshiebwe (knee) finished with 22 points (9-17 FG, 4-4 FT), 18 rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 34 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 86-77 2OT loss to Michigan State...
Impact Tshiebwe came off the bench in his 2022-23 season debut, but the double-OT nature of Tuesday's affair meant he essentially ended up logging a full night at the office. He turned that into a vintage performance -- one that was typical of his Wooden Award-winning campaign a season ago. On top of the regular bruising around the basket, Tshiebwe also showed off a bit of a mid-range game, which can only go over well with NBA scouts. Most importantly, however, Tshiebwe looks to be fully back from the knee issue that limited him early. Coach John Calipari may not need to give him a full workload Thursday against South Carolina State, as the Wildcats draw Gonzaga the following Sunday, and Tshiebwe will be needed at 100 percent to defend Drew Timme in the post.

Coming off bench in return Tshiebwe won't draw a start against Michigan State in his return.
Impact The senior big man is set to make his season debut, but he'll do it off the bench against Michigan State. Kentucky has elected to roll with the same starting lineup they've deployed for the past two games, with Lance Ware getting the start against the Spartans. The center was a problem last season, putting up 17.4 points, 15.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists while starting 34 games.

Warming up Tuesday Tshiebwe (knee) is warming up ahead of Tuesday's game versus Michigan State, Eli Gehn of LEX18 News reports.
Impact Tshiebwe is in line to make his season debut Tuesday, as expected. Due to his return, Lance Ware will likely move to the bench against Michigan State. Tshiebwe averaged 17.4 points, 15.1 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.6 blocks and 1.1 assists in 31.8 minutes across 34 games last season.

Expected to be available Tshiebwe (knee) is expected to be available Tuesday at Michigan State, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.
Impact If there are no last-minute changes from Kentucky, Tshiebwe will log his senior debut Tuesday. Lance Ware previously started in place of the elite center (and big man Daimion Collins) but is expected to be a role player again.
