Otega Oweh Deserved More Than This Season Gave Him

Second Team All-SEC again. Some will call it a snub. But here is what the numbers won't tell you: Otega Oweh scored 20 or more points in 14 of 18 SEC games this year — more than any Wildcat in 30 years — while carrying a roster held together with duct tape and heart. Lowe went down. Williams went down. Quaintance went down. And Oweh just kept showing up, night after night, logging 35-minute wars with no cavalry coming. He put up 28 on Senior Day against the fifth-ranked team in the country and still had to walk off the court with a loss. That is not a Second Team player. That is a man who refused to let this season break him, even when it had every right to.
