Wednesday Headlines: Angry Mark Pope Unleashed Angry Mark Pope has arrived.
Trent Noah - Sees extended run Noah posted 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 103-67 win over North Carolina Central.
Impact Kentucky coach Mark Pope was starting to see some consistency in his starting lineup, using the same five players over the last four games, but he switched things up again Tuesday. Noah ended up with his second starting nod of the year in place of Kam Williams, who was held to just two points across 13 minutes in the contest. Noah, meanwhile, saw a season-high minutes total, while matching his season-best rebounding total and putting up his second most points of the year. The health of fellow wing Mouhamed Dioubate (ankle) will play a role in Noah's short-term outlook, but at least for now, we can surmise that the sophomore has earned back a bit of coach Pope's trust.

Malachi Moreno - 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.
