OU and Kentucky have played 80 minutes against each other this season. It\u2019s 80 minutes separated by two points, but those are the ones that matter.<\/p>\n
For the second time, it was Kentucky\u2019s Otega Oweh<\/a><\/strong> playing hero to rip the hearts out for the Sooners one more time.<\/p>\n Oweh took it coast-to-coast with 5.6 seconds left to score with 0.5 seconds left in a dramatic 85-84 victory against the Sooners on Thursday night in the SEC Tournament in Nashville.<\/p>\n Oweh finished with 27 points, one fewer than what he had in Norman a couple weeks ago.<\/p>\n It felt ridiculous that even came down to that. OU trailed 66-65 before allowing an 11-0 run by the Wildcasts that felt like put this thing over and done.<\/p>\n But OU did what it has done, kept fighting. Scratching, clawing, turning up the defensive pressure. It was an uneven night for freshman star Jeremiah Fears<\/a><\/strong>, but he delivered the goods when it mattered most.<\/p>\n Fears concluded a frenetic and hectic 7-0 run in the final minute with a three-pointer, assist that led to a Jalon Moore<\/a><\/strong> dunk and a drive into the lane to give OU the 84-83 lead with the :05.6 left.<\/p>\n The Sooners head into the weekend at 20-13 overall. Definitely feeling comfortable in the NCAA field, just awaiting their destination Sunday evening.<\/p>\n A Luke Northweather<\/a><\/strong> three-pointer cut the Kentucky lead to 66-65 when Oweh, initially, made his mark. Just as he did in Norman, Oweh took over. Scoring, assisting, whatever was needed. And OU was in a world of hurt in a road atmosphere in Nashville.<\/p>\n Jalon Moore<\/a><\/strong>, perhaps playing with too emotion, had one of his worst shooting nights. A lot of very makeable shots, just did not fall. He finished with 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting and seven rebounds.<\/p>\n Kentucky came out red hot to an 8-0 start. But every time it looked like the Wildcats were about to put the Sooners away, here came another run.<\/p>\n Fears finished with 28 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals. He was only 2-for-11 shooting from 3-point territory. Still, he almost willed OU to the finish line.<\/p>\n Kobe Elvis had 12 points off the bench.<\/p>\n The mission is accomplished, though. It doesn\u2019t feel good right at this moment for OU or its fans, but Porter Moser<\/a> has the Sooners in the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n Moser has a second consecutive 20-win season. And, again, there should be zero sweating the Selection Sunday results.<\/p>\n Where, when and who OU is playing \u2013 time to find out Sunday evening.<\/p>\n The post Otega Oweh, Kentucky get the best of OU once again, 85-84<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OU and Kentucky have played 80 minutes against each other this season.
