Kentucky OWEH has the last word in the best performance of the race against Oklahoma, his former team

Norman, Okla. (AP) – Oklahoma fans seized Kentucky Oweh Oweh for a long time.

The former guard of Sooner made the final statement. He scored 28 points in his career and accumulated in an out of balance float with six remaining seconds for the winner against his former team when Kentucky No. 17 defeated Oklahoma 83-82 on Wednesday night.

“I just tried to impose my will, in any way that was,” he said.

OWEH was the second leading scorer in Oklahoma’s team with 11.4 points per game last season before transferring. He had averaged a better team of 15.7 points per game this season for Kentucky in the confrontation with the Sooners.

He was booed aloud during the presentations and throughout the game. At one time, Oklahoma students sang “He is a traitor” while Oweh was standing on the free throw line.

He scored the last 18 points of Kentucky, apparently feeding with energy. Oklahoma fans even booed Oweh after the game when he crosses the court for an interview after the game.

“I mean, it’s a great feeling of reaching your old space, getting a victory,” he said. “As a basketball player, it’s great to enter there, have that.”

Oklahoma coach, Porter Moser, had no answers to his former star. Oweh scored 23 points in 10 of 14 shots in the second half.

Moser said his Sooners played well and played hard, but it wasn’t his night.

“You have to bow your hats,” Moser said. “I thought Kentucky, and then thought that Otega made some huge absolute plays in the section.”

Jalon Moore, who led Oklahoma with 20 points, said there are no resentments.

“It was great to play with Otega,” he said. “It’s my brother. I wish you anything else. It is good to simply come to that, there to compete, and that’s. “

Kentucky won on the road for the third time throughout the season. The Wildcats coach Mark Pope said that this was the type of season ending that his team needed. And now he knows that he has a player who can carry the load under stress.

“I think our boys captured or had an experience tonight to call when we enter this, in a very similar game,” he said. “And I love that. I love we have it in our pocket. “
