Kentucky finished 4th in the SEC this season but Oscar Tshiebwe has made it clear his goal is to help lead this team to a national championship. BBN Tonight's Keith Farmer sat down with the two-time consensus All-American to talk about how the team is prepared for this year's March Madness.
And Tshiebwe isn't the only one who believes in Kentucky's tournament run. According to Sister Jean, Kentucky is going to win the NCAA men's tournament.
Nothing but love! Providence is led by Kentucky transfer Bryce Hopkins.
Lance Ware & Sahvir Wheeler just ran into Bryce Hopkins in between team practices/press conferences
