Big Blue Nation has been holding its collective breath for weeks, anxiously awaiting injury updates. With Jayden Quaintance still a ways away, Denzel Aberdeen just returning, and Jaland Lowe ruled out for tonight's season opener, the last thing Kentucky needed was another player to go down.
Then, in the first half against Nicholls State, the entire arena fell silent.
A scare and a massive sigh of relief
While driving through the paint, sophomore Trent Noah got tangled up with a Nicholls State defender who fell to the floor. The defender's leg caught Noah's ankle, bending it at an "unfortunate angle" that had fans fearing the worst.
