There were a few games during his freshman season that Trevor Moore flashed the skills of a future star. Perhaps know performance was as telling as a 14-point outburst against UCF in February. The Cincinnati Bearcats destroyed the Knights in the game (77-40), so they didn’t really need a ton from Moore, but he came in and absolutely cooked for 13 minutes, drilling 4-of-7 shots from the floor, including 2-for-3 from beyond the arc.
As a freshman entering the program along with a very similar player in Keith Williams, Moore was always going to have to compete for minutes, and his showing against UCF proved that he was the future wing that Mick Cronin could trust as the season ran into March.
