Otega Oweh’s consistency surprises Kentucky’s coach Mark Pope

In 22 games this season, Kentucky (16-7, 5-5 Southeastern Conference) junior guard Otega Oweh has scored at least 10 points in every outing, a streak reminiscent of Malik Monk’s 30-game run to open the 2016-17 campaign. While fans are in awe of Oweh’s consistency, Wildcats coach Mark Pope admitted on Thursday that he didn’t foresee this level of impact.

“No, I did not,” Pope said to reporters. “One of my curiosities before the season was what his consistency would feel like.”

Oweh hasn’t faltered since SEC play began, maintaining his scoring average of 16.0 points per game while shooting an efficient 47.2%. He stands alone as the only player in the SEC to record double figures in every game this season, highlighting his resilience.

“That’s pretty special,” Pope said. “It’s a credit to him, how he’s built, and what he’s made of. He’s putting together an extraordinary season despite some weirdness happening around him. He’s been really special, and he’s obviously a massive part of our team.”

Beyond his scoring, Oweh is also showcasing his all-around game. He is averaging 5.9 rebounds in 31.2 minutes per SEC game. His playmaking, considered a weaker aspect during his two seasons at Oklahoma, has improved.

“I’m really proud of Otega,” Pope said, via the 'UK Healthcare Mark Pope Show.' “He’s taken a colossal leap in his game, and I’m asking so much from him. His competitive nature is at an elite level, and he’s been spectacular.”

Oweh’s responsibilities extend beyond scoring. He’s tasked with driving to the rim, guarding top opponents and creating plays for teammates. Although his 3-point shooting has dipped in SEC play, his aggressiveness and effort have been unwavering.
