Love Big O

[chasingwildcat]

Although his two years here were not very successful in tournaments, he gave his all for BBN.

Moreover, he never publicly supported Cal or Arkansas, he has always considered himself a part of BBN and only supports us, in sharp contrast to his former teammates (Mintz, Toppin, TyTy).

Hopefully he can come back to Lexington often. We will always welcome him back. He will always be a part of our family.

The two big O's,

That’s what she said.

Well played

Slow that down and you will see two players fall out of bounds and was never touched. Could they have called a flop on both players ? That was when he scored the last basket for UK.

I would kill to have had him on almost any other years than the two we had him for. Imagine his talent with Ulis and Murray. Or even last year anchoring the paint..

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Yuck those two did a tremendous job trying to flop.

Well played

Three observations when you watch that play over and over again. The #15 guarding Oweh flops and Oweh goes right. If Oweh does not think for a milimeter of a second and does not go right at the perfect time probably a charge? Did Oweh mean to bank the shot? And notice Big A positioning for the put back if he misses that shot. And the whole team hustling back and bunching around the rim to take away the easy drive to the basket. Do they practice this or did all five just do the right thing on their own and try and make the drive by Fears difficult?

If professional basketball doesn't work out for Oscar it would be cool if Pope brought him in as some kind of assistant on staff. He would be good at teaching how to rebound and be physical.

It certainly wasn’t his fault, he showed up.

The only thing that should matter is if he loved Kentucky. Why the hell does it matter if they like Cal or not? That’s irrelevant to us. Big O loved UK and we love him back. If he has Calipari underwear on it makes no difference to me

I don't think the bank shot was intentional. Oweh has a tendency to try and throw it through the backboard on occasion or throw up a prayer. thankfully this one was answered. Though my dad used to always say "They put that box on the backboard for a reason"

It looks like OO blocked the shot initially before BG

That boy will always be blue through and through in my eyes even though it was only for 2 years he wasn’t one of those mercenaries! He always says great things about the University! He actually loved his time here!

The man is a freak athlete!! Need us a couple more like him for next year!!

There’s only one Big O. Otega Oweh is Double O, he’s not even big. That nickname for Oweh feels forced and doesn’t pass the smell test. With Oscar, it’s a perfect fit

I hope someone called them out on that. Complete horsecrap.

 

[Ugoff]

The irony here is that if those two don't flop like fish, and play straight up D, OU probably hangs on. This is the downside of having the refs give you these bs flops most of the time. Play basketball like a man.

Good on Oscar for posting this. Glad to see a former player showing allegiance to the blue and white vs the Brylcream.
