NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma's fans yapped at Kentucky's Otega Oweh all game long, but the ex-Sooner guard made the final statement. He scored a career-high 28 points and banked in an off-balance floater with six seconds remaining for the winner against his former team as No. 17 Kentucky beat Oklahoma 83-82 on Wednesday night. Oweh was booed loudly during introductions and throughout the game. At one point, Oklahoma students chanted "He's a traitor" while Oweh stood at the free-throw line. But he scored Kentucky's final 18 points, seemingly feeding off the energy.
