NORMAN, Okla. — Otega Oweh scored 28 points and banked in off-balance floater with six seconds remaining for the winner against his former team as No. 17 Kentucky beat Oklahoma 83-82. Oweh was booed loudly during starter introductions and throughout the game. At one point, Oklahoma students chanted "He's a traitor" while Oweh stood at the free-throw line. It didn't matter — the guard scored his team's final 18 points. Jalon Moore scored 20 points and Jeremiah Fears added 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Sooners.
