"That's a bucket." Otega Oweh Never had a Doubt
Big Blue Nation is jubilant. That was not always the case in the heat of the battle between Kentucky and Santa Clara in the NCAA Tournament.
Let’s all be honest with each other. When Otega Oweh tied it up with nine seconds remaining, you weren’t confident that Kentucky was going to escape with a win. Once Allen Graves hit a go-ahead three-pointer, you were legally dead for 2.4 seconds. The season was over. The Wildcats were eliminated from the NCAA Tournament in the first round, again.
NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND!
You know what happened next. Oweh sprinted up the floor and got off a prayer in 2.4 seconds. It felt like a prayer from afar, but Oweh never had a doubt.
“That’s a bucket.”
