The go-to person in Kentucky is still Otega Oweh.

As the Cats easily defeated LSU, Oweh gave one of his best games while wearing a Kentucky uniform.

Oweh became the first player from Kentucky to record at least 24 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals in a game since former Kentucky forward Patrick Patterson did so against Longwood in 2008, according to UK statistician Corey Price. As SEC play comes to a close, the former Sooner has been outstanding. He is now displaying uncommon stat lines after we witnessed him blow up in Norman.




Oweh’s ability to be a 3-level scorer makes him difficult to guard on the offensive end. When he’s knocking down that mid-to-long-range jumper, the 6-foot-4 guard is a tough matchup for any defender.


Oweh has been the go-to guy all season long for the Wildcats, and that will be the same storyline down the stretch in March, especially now that Jaxson Robinson is done for the season. The New Jersey product has been playing some of his best basketball on both sides of the floor in the past two months, hitting 20+ points seven times in his last 13 games.


Oweh will look to continue his dominant play as Kentucky wraps up SEC play and heads on the road to Columbia, Missouri, to take on the No. 15 Missouri Tigers.
