How did Otega Oweh do that? Some players struggle when they return home. Others thrive. Otega Oweh did both of those, and so much more, in an improbable 83-82 win over Oklahoma.

The former Oklahoma Sooner struggled in the first half. He was only 2-7 from the field and consistently failed to finish through contact. It was a completely different story in the second half.

Oweh scored 21 of the Wildcats final 23 points, including 18 straight and the game-winner at the Noble Center. He finished his night with a career-high 28 points. It’s the most points ever by a Kentucky Wildcat against his former team.

The last player to make a field goal for Kentucky was Amari Williams with 12:51 to play. Oweh was just a man possessed. It did not matter the degree of difficulty, he was going to find a way to will the ball in.

Oweh wasn’t the only impressive player for the Cats. Brandon Garrison had a dozen points, including a pair of made threes, and three blocked shots.

But who am I kidding? You’re here to watch the best of the best from the star of the night. Enjoy.
