Holding down the five Moreno amassed 14 points (7-9 FG), seven rebounds and two blocks across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 103-67 win over North Carolina Central.

Impact Since taking over the starting center job from Brandon Garrison back on Nov. 21, Moreno has averaged 10.0 points and 7.4 rebounds across 26.0 minutes, all while shooting a highly respectable 62.5 percent from the field. Kentucky has been looking for an answer at center with prized recruit Jayden Quaintance still recovering from a knee injury, and with recent reports surfacing that Quaintance is not close to returning, it looks like that answer will be Moreno for the foreseeable future.
