Oweh is not a great shooter but….

Close 2 - 37-117 - 31.6% that's a layup, putback, or hook shot inside the restricted area
Far 2 - 169 - 327 - 51.7% that's anything outside the restricted paint or but inside the 3 point line
3P - 41 - 119 - 34.5% of course behind the 3 point line
he has added a lot to his game this year. put in the work and really developed.
00 is the man. He deserved 1st team SEC for sure. Shows how much team success means. He balled out every conference game and still couldn’t get first team after being Pre- season POY.

It’s a real shame he is called a “black hole” by many. He is the star of our team. Dude is clutch!!!
Sometimes like today he was out of control and used bad judgment driving into 3 men and losing the ball two or three times. Then he makes a steal and gets an and one and hits a three next time down, so you can’t take him out, no matter how bad you want to. I thought he should have taken him out with a couple of minutes to go in the first half, but he managed to make it without committing his third foul. Then he picks up his third early in the second half and he left him in again, but it all worked out. You just have to let him play his style.
He made a clutch jumper yesterday to make it 7 with 1:30 left as well.
Is that accurate? If so I'd imagine that's quite horrendous compared to most players lol.
I was thinking the same thing. Honestly have never seen a team miss so many layups or dribble the ball off their legs and out of bounds.
Those are the shots that cause people to call him a black hole. He tries to go up against 2 or 3 guys and it might as well be a turnover.
When he plays within himself, shoots the open 3s , hits that midrange one on one iso ball and is able to drive to the lane one on one or a fast break or cut he’s money. Problem is too often he forces 4-5 a game he should pass out instead. Guy could be so much better with a few tweaks to his game.
For the most part, I was not upset with his 3's, but I was upset with several possession's where the Cat's never took the ball past the top of the 3pt line and maybe made one pass if that then jacked up a bad three, those were basically turnovers and let Missouri back in the game,
Oweh is one of the most clutch players we have had here at Kentucky, with the game on the line.
Sure, he's human, and has faltered some, but he's been pretty efficient scoring when it really matters.
If I have any criticism of him ... I would like to see him take his time and be a little more sight-focused at the free-throw line. I think he can do better there.

I give him hell for his boneheaded mistakes and defensive lapse's but he's very clutch at the end of games . Always willing to bang like heck on offensive and is hard to stop . Today for example , he did soooo much good , but late in the game gets a missed short short by Denzel I believe or Colin and there are 3 Miz guys there and him .. he throws up some off balance crap instead of backing itt out , then gets caught ball watching and his guy ( tall 6'10 guy) buries a wide open three , at a BIG time in the game . Got to take the bad with the very good.
Again OO has been our best player 2 years in a row.
Absolutely true, but he's been forced to carry quite a load this season. I get aggravated at times but he makes big plays. Hope he keeps it going for a few more weeks.
the hate oweh has received from BBN will go down as an all time head scratcher. dude is surrounded by average to below average players and needs to get 20+ every game just for a chance to win the game.
His ball watching does make me mad but he does so much good. We would be so trash without him.
I’ve always defended him too and always will. He’s one of the most consistent offensive players we have had.and for the most part has to guard the other teams best perimeter player.
And plays 38 minutes a game. If anyone has the right to claim fatigue it’s him and Aberdeen.
Best player on a very flawed team. Sure would have been nice to see what he and Aberdeen could have done with a real point guard. All year everyone has said " what's wrong with UK" when the answer is obvious we have no point guard. EVERY great team this year has one, we don't. I think Oweh is not playing hero ball I think he is doing what Pope's telling him to. I might add he has been a " hero" quite a few times this year
6th in scoring, 9th in minutes, 5th in FG made, 4th in steals AND like most on the list he's not a PG
How can you not like Oweh, tough as nails, and plays hard most of the time. I wish the NBA would have told him to improve his Defense, he would have been #1 in steals and probably foul out of every game. But he is not a three point shooter, and won't be in the NBA. But I think he will get his chance, just from being so strong and physical.
That may be, but he gets blocked by the rim more often than Gimel Martinez
I don’t think that’s accurate. I’m not sure where they got that info from because I believe they’re a good faith poster, but those numbers showing Oweh being terrible at the rim and above 50% in the midrange are all out of whack compared to what I can find on Torvik.
They have him at a much more respectable 63.4% at the rim and a not so great 32.8% on all other 2 point attempts, which feels much more reasonable.
He's the star of a KY team that is bad by KY standards.. I bet we get a TEAM next year and forget about him quickly when we see the ball being whipped around the court, and more wins.
His shooting % at the rim may not be the highest, but his ability to generate shots at the gym is his best skill.
It's because he is a black hole. First 3 minutes of FL game, ball never went anywhere after Oweh touched it.
Oweh goes Iso and gets tied up, arrow to Fl.
Oweh goes ISO, turns it over
