The SEC Coaches postseason awards have been handed out, and Kentucky Wildcats guard Otega Oweh made it as a Second-Team All-SEC selection. He was the only Wildcat to earn a postseason honor.
As a junior transfer from the Oklahoma Sooners, Oweh established himself as one of the best players in what’s easily the best conference in college basketball this season. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 16.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists per game, and 1.5 steals per game. He scored in double figures 29 times in 31 games played.
In Saturday’s regular-season finale at Missouri, Oweh scored a game-high 22 points, 20 coming after halftime. At Vanderbilt on Senior Night, Oweh notched his second career double-double with 21 points and a career-high 12 rebounds.
Now, Oweh will be Kentucky’s go-to player in what hopes to be a long and fruitful postseason for the Wildcats, who are ranked 15th in the final regular-season AP Top 25 Poll.
