Kentucky Defeats Oklahoma 85-84 in SEC Thriller

In a dramatic SEC Tournament game, the Kentucky Wildcats narrowly defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 85-84, thanks to a buzzer-beating layup by Otega Oweh with 0.5 seconds remaining. Oweh, a former Sooner, scored 27 points and has now twice clinched last-second wins against his old team this season. Despite their victory, Kentucky faced setbacks with starting point guard Lamont Butler leaving the game due to a shoulder injury. The Wildcats had led by as much as 11 points late in the game, but Oklahoma's late surge nearly turned the tables. Kentucky will advance to face Alabama in the next round, while Oklahoma's NCAA Tournament fate is uncertain. This win marks Kentucky's first SEC Tournament victory in three years.
