KSR Today: Kentucky Fans Witnessed an All-Time Performance
—
All it takes is one game to become an indelible part of the Kentucky fanbase. Tayshaun Prince‘s five three-pointers against North Carolina. Malik Monk‘s 47 against that same team more than 25 years later. You can’t see the number 54 without thinking about Jodie Meeks. After Wednesday night, you won’t be able to see the Oklahoma logo without thinking fondly about Otega Oweh‘s unforgettable homecoming.
Kentucky’s first game at the Noble Center was a return trip for Otega Oweh, the place he called home for his first two years of college basketball. Things weren’t going according to plan early.
“His first 32 minutes were so incredibly shaky,” was how Mark Pope described it in his postgame radio interview.
