When asked about squaring off against Denzel Aberdeen last season, Otega Oweh had nothing but praise for his opponent. The Oklahoma guard spoke highly of Aberdeen’s skill, composure, and competitiveness, highlighting just how much respect he has for the Florida State point guard.
“Denzel’s a tough competitor,” Oweh said. “He’s one of those guys who doesn’t take a play off. You know you’re in for a challenge the moment he steps on the floor.”
The two guards had several intense matchups throughout the season, each pushing the other to perform at their best. Oweh acknowledged that facing players like Aberdeen elevates the level of competition and forces him to refine his own game.
“Going up against someone like that, it makes you sharper,” Oweh added. “He’s quick, he’s smart, and he plays with a lot of heart. I have a lot of respect for how he carries himself on the court.”
While their teams may be rivals during the season, the mutual respect between Oweh and Aberdeen is a testament to the sportsmanship and high level of talent present in college basketball. As both players continue to develop and make their mark, fans can look forward to more electrifying battles between these two standout
