Trent Noah

Not sure about rotation status but he brought it tonight and helped us get our biggest win of the year. Love his poise and engagement.
He's play good minutes the last few games. He must be adjusted to the speed of the game now.
"I looked to the mountains, from whence came my help."
Noah’s going to contribute. He’s got the size and shooting ability to be a good one. He played well tonight. Proud of the young man.
Trent Noah is a basketball player
idk why he doesn't play more, he looks far more the part than Perry or Chandler. Noahs hustle is top tier!
He made some big plays tonight. Happy for him. A Kentucky kid not recruited by previous coach but welcomed here by new coach comes up big on the road as an underdog. Yep. I’m all about it
We were very fortunate to have Coach Pope steal this building block for our future from South Carolina.
That kid isn't afraid to stick his nose in a pile of bodies for the ball. He's a old school type of player and I'm glad he's a CAT.
Noah did great tonight and Chandler was a lot better as well great game thought it was gonna be a loss
The freshman of Noah, Perry and Chandler all play hard. I was at the game tonight wnd was very impressed with how hard the play.
That 3 was HUGE and of course the hustle.
Noah pretty good tonight. Chandler sucked most of the time on the floor, but found a few good possessions in there when we really needed it.
I’ll take him over Chandler. Chandler is unplayable and I’ve not seen anything that makes me think he can play here. Hope I’m wrong.
Noah scored 5 and we won by 5.
I think all three of Perry, Noah, and Chandler played very well given the circumstances. Not perfect by any means, and there were a few boneheaded plays or lapses, but they fought. Not counting Carr nine guys got minutes tonight. If this were Cal neither of those three freshmen would have gotten any minutes at all and he would have stuck with a six or seven man rotation. All three seemed to play with confidence too, something bench/project type freshmen with Cal never did.
Nice strides being made, by everyone involved.
I wonder if he would have developed so if Kriisa had not been injured ? Or as much ? I dunno, but it sure a great thing to see.

My prediction: Noah backs up Oweh at the SF spot next season. Then is the starting SF his Jr. year and backed up by a freshman 5-star.
Trent is gonna make a good player, he doesn’t have any fear on the court. He’s about 6’6 and going to keep getting stronger. Chandler shows flashes, he needs time. Taking two years off from basketball hurt! Perry works hard, he just struggles with guards as fast and athletic as Tennessee’s guards!
Chandler defended on Lanier better than anyone and his floor game is scrappy. Still a bit lost and out of synch on the offensive end but that will eventually come around. You can't teach his length and athleticism.
The bucket he made where he adjusted at the rim was awesome. He’s gonna be a really good player for us. Don’t know if he’ll play this big of a role every game once Carr is healthy, but great to know that he has this in him.
Noah, Perry, and Chandler will be big time contributors their jr and sr years. This is what we as fans have been longing for. Young players who develop and become the backbone of the team.
Harlan County my friends....we on the map
He really did play a great defensive game that is being massively overlooked by many.
Showed a little ability to create off the bounce for other too which is something this team struggles with outside of Lamont and oweh
That is really a great assessment. He and Perry are KY kids and are basketball junkies who love UK and understand what it means to fans and themselves.
Kentucky and players from Eastern Kentucky Area, you just have too much tradition there. Noah is the next guy to write his story. Something majestic about a kid from eastern Kentucky getting to play for the state school. Hopefully he continues to make Pope play him. Hopefully Pope can continue to bring him along. Noah after all built the Ark, repopulated the earth and so forth. He should be able to put the ball in the basket, play defense and such.
He plays focused and smart defense. He has a freshman body but a senior mentality.
Glad someone else watched the game half these guys on here wouldn’t know if someone played good or not
Chandler flat locked Lanier up the one jumper he did hit on Chandler he was right in his grill
Noah is a Kon Kneuppel type…a heady player with size who isn’t scared and hustles his ass off. Oh, and can stick it in your eye too and will pull up off the dribble. They both remind me of Pat Connaughton from Notre Dame a few years back.
If you get a chance, go listen to Pope's postgame and how he talks about Noah at about the 10:00 mark. He talks well about all his players of course, but you can just tell that he thinks Noah is going to be a Dude - and he's a little surprised by how much so. For example: "I keep saying this publicly, but of course nobody believes me because I'm not putting him in the game. I've got so much confidence in him. He's a really good player. He does not fear the moment." He plays hard." "He's like a sponge."
Getting more confident with playing time, he makes the right play and is a deadly shooter. I worry about Perry though, fear he’s going to be a spot up shooter only & chandler can defend and maybe that’s where he can gain some confidence and contribute like tonight.
He has earned the right to play far more than Chandler or Perry.
