@MrsTylerKSR @Oscartshiebwe34 Tyler did an amazing job telling our story.

[Tyler Thompson @MrsTylerKSR]

@Oscartshiebwe34 We were with Langsten when he met Oscar and the moment was truly awesome. Shoutout to everyone who made it happen.

After a rough few months for #BBN, what a great reminder of the good in this fanbase and why it's the best in sports.

You may know that .@Oscartshiebwe34 met 13-year-old Langsten, also from the Congo, on Saturday.

You may not know the story behind it. From the fan who first noticed Langsten at the Mizzou game to the one who flew him to Lex, #BBN made a dream come true.

This is 13 year old Langsten who lives in Missouri. He originally is from the Congo and went to UK-Missouri game with a sign wanting to meet Oscar Tshiebwe

Oscar didn’t see it so a UK fan saw him on TV, reached out and brought him to Lexington so he can meet him today

@Oscartshiebwe34 My son loves your game. He often watches one of your games before he plays. He says it helps him be ready. Thank you for being a good example on and off the court. We love how you stay positive and keep God first!
