Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:00Against Morehead State, O'Neal drives through contact and shows her passing vision.
  2. 0:53Transition sequences include assists to Clara Strack and finishes inside.
  3. 1:38Northern Kentucky highlights combine offensive rebounds, putbacks and perimeter shooting.
  4. 2:47Against NC State, O'Neal makes catch-and-shoot threes and works off screens.
  5. 3:51The Evansville section features rim protection and layups through fouls.
  6. 5:30Another three-pointer takes O'Neal past her previous early-season scoring best.

The pass to Clara Strack is part of the appeal, too. Me'Arah O'Neal's Kentucky highlights include drives through contact and shots from the perimeter, but also the moments when she spots a teammate with a better route to the basket.

SportsCenter NEXT has brought together her first four games for the Wildcats in a compilation that drew about 277,000 views in its first day. That's an unusually large audience for a regular upload on ESPN's youth-sports channel.

The title introduces her as Shaq's daughter. The basketball gives viewers more to discuss than the surname: offensive rebounds and putbacks against Northern Kentucky, catch-and-shoot threes against NC State, then blocks and repeated drives through fouls against Evansville. On one Morehead State possession, she handles the ball on the way inside, prompting the commentator to single out her dribbling.

Several commenters focus on her shooting, including the novelty of hearing an O'Neal announced for a three-pointer. Others point to her decision-making. Those are useful details in a collection that shows her both finishing possessions herself and helping Strack finish them.

The Evansville section adds another marker: a three-pointer takes O'Neal past her previous early-season scoring best, before the compilation returns to fast-break finishes around the basket.
