Eyewitnesses Confirm Ugly Visual From Kentucky’s Game as Calls Mount in Support of Brandon Garrison
Ask the basketball lovers about the sport’s biggest storyline at the moment and they will probably tell you it’s Luka Doncic’s first game against his former team after the shocking trade. But just a day after that happened at the Crypto Arena, 1356 miles away at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Oklahoma, one more thriller with a similar storyline was staged when the Kentucky Wildcats and Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball teams faced each other. This time, a former Sooners returned to its home arena, donning the rival Wildcats’ jersey. And guess what, bringing things to a full circle, played THE role in Kentucky’s win over the Sooners. If that was not enough, he had one of his teammates with an Oklahoma connection to contribute equally in the win. But the exciting story went south once the game ended.
Just a year ago, Kentucky’s Otega Oweh and Brandon Garrison were playing for different teams, albeit in Oklahoma. Oweh spent his previous two years playing for Oklahoma, while Garrison was a Freshman at Oklahoma State, a Sooners rival, after his time in the Del City High School. On Wednesday night, these two were the key pieces that handed the Sooners a one-point loss in the penultimate moments of the game. Garrison was credited with the game-saving block, but Oweh also claimed a piece of it.
