Nine minutes into his 2025-26 season debut, Trent Noah went down with an ankle injury against Nicholls. The Kentucky sophomore was sliding his body across the hardwood as he tried to process the pain shooting into part of his leg. He would try to tough it and return later on in the game, much to the displeasure of his head coach.
Noah, a starter going into that game, was ultimately sidelined for the rest of Kentucky’s 77-51 win over Nicholls and would not return to action for another 10 days, when the Wildcats took down Eastern Illinois 99-53.
