Trent Noah

ANALYSIS
Kentucky coach Mark Pope was starting to see some consistency in his starting lineup, using the same five players over the last four games, but he switched things up again Tuesday. Noah ended up with his second starting nod of the year in place of Kam Williams, who was held to just two points across 13 minutes in the contest. Noah, meanwhile, saw a season-high minutes total, while matching his season-best rebounding total and putting up his second most points of the year. The health of fellow wing Mouhamed Dioubate (ankle) will play a role in Noah's short-term outlook, but at least for now, we can surmise that the sophomore has earned back a bit of coach Pope's trust.
