Oklahoma Transfer Otega Oweh Is Having A Breakout Season In His First Year With Kentucky, Setting Career Highs In Points (16.2), Rebounds (4.6), Assists (1.6), Two-Point Field Goal Percentage (.526), Free Throw Percentage (.776), And Minutes (28.1). His Impact Has Been Undeniable, And He Is Making A Strong Case For All-SEC Recognition.
In Kentucky’s 91-83 Road Victory Over Missouri, Oweh Delivered Another Stellar Second-Half Performance. He Scored 20 Of His Game-High 22 Points After Halftime, Marking His 11th 20-Point Game Of The Season. While He Struggled With Two-Point Shots (4-Of-14), He Knocked Down Two Three-Pointers For The First Time In Over A Month And Reached Double-Digit Free Throw Attempts (10) For The Third Time This Season.
This Type Of Second-Half Dominance Has Become Oweh’s Signature. Against Oklahoma On Feb. 26, He Scored 23 Of His 28 Points After Halftime, Including Kentucky’s Final 18 Points In The One-Point Win. He Had Similar Second-Half Surges Against Texas (12 Of 20 Points), South Carolina (15 Of 17 Points), And Vanderbilt (17 Of 21 Points).
Oweh Has Established Himself As Kentucky’s Go-To Scorer In Crunch Time, Delivering Key Performances That Have Helped The Wildcats Secure Big Wins. As March Madness Approaches, Kentucky Will Likely Continue Relying On Oweh’s Second-Half Heroics.
With His Scoring Ability And Clutch Performances, The Junior Wing Has Solidified Himself As A True Bucket-Getter After Halftime—And There’s No Sign Of Him Slowing Down Anytime Soon.
