Oweh! Oweh! Oweh!

UK Athletics/Caleb Bowlin

Kentucky senior Otega Oweh was selected as the Southeastern Conference Co-Player of the Week. Oweh shares the award, the first weekly honor for UK this season, with Tennessee’s Ja’Kobi Gillespie.

• Oweh scored a game-high 20 points as the Wildcats picked up their first win over an Associated Press Top-25 opponent, defeating No. 22 St. John’s, 78-66, in the CBS Sports Classic in Atlanta on Saturday

• UK’s star guard also contributed five rebounds and three steals in the winning effort, marking his seventh-consecutive game with multiple steals, the longest streak of his college career

• Oweh’s defensive prowess was paramount in holding the Red Storm to a season-low 33.3 percent field-goal clip, while his 20-point effort was his second outing reaching the 20-point threshold this season. He also made 8-of-9 free throws in the contest and is shooting a career-best 81.5 percent from the charity stripe thus far
