For the first time since the season-opener against Nicholls, sophomore wing Trent Noah was inserted into Kentucky’s starting lineup.
Why the sudden change from head coach Mark Pope?
While we don’t know the exact reason, we know it had something to do with Pope not playing Kam Williams, who had started the previous four games for the Wildcats, until early in the second half. Williams and Jaland Lowe both sat out the entire first half, while Brandon Garrison sat out the second half.
