Before Big Blue Nation took over Broadway to celebrate Otega Oweh<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s game-winner, many fans stuck around Bridgestone Arena to party inside. Over at the SEC Network\u2019s set in the corner, Kentucky fans surrounded the panel during the live postgame broadcast, chanting \u201cGo-Big-Blue!\u201d<\/strong> to show off the passion of the best fans in college basketball.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is special,\u201d said Dari Nowkhah over the sound of BBN around him. \u201cIt\u2019s just one of those things, I want to let it breathe a little bit here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Otega Oweh and Mark Pope pulled up to the set after celebrating on the court as a team. Oweh broke down the final stretch in which he turned the ball over twice, then made up for his mistakes with the game\u2019s final basket.<\/p>\n

Pope chimed in to say, \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of human beings walking on the planet that can go through those two plays and have that third play. It\u2019s just a credit to his character, man, and the character of our team, and I\u2019m really proud of these guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the Kentucky fans who completely took over the arena in support of the Wildcats, Pope replied, \u201cIt\u2019s a fact: there is no fan base like this in the world. That Otega gets to wear this across his chest, and I get to wear it on my chest, and we get to be a part of this family\u2026 You can\u2019t understand it until you\u2019ve lived it.<\/p>\n
