Oscar Tshiebwe has been voted SEC Player of the Year, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports. This shouldn’t be a real surprise after Tshiebwe put together one of the most dominant seasons we ever seen averaging 17.3 points, 15.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per contest. You could see this potential at times when he was at West Virginia, but Tshiebwe has taken things to a new level in 2021-22. He is many’s favorite to take home the Naismith Player of the Year Award as well.
