MASSIVE SETBACK: Kentucky Wildcat Men’s Basketball Forward Trent Noah Will NOT Be Part of the Kentucky Wildcat Squad on March 29 at Lucas Oil vs. Tennessee Vols.
LEXINGTON, KY (March 26, 2025) – In a surprising turn of events, the Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team will take the court on March 29 against the Tennessee Volunteers without one of their key players, forward Trent Noah. The highly anticipated game, scheduled to take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, will be missing Noah due to an undisclosed injury that has left the Wildcats reeling.
Head coach John Calipari addressed the situation in a statement released earlier today, confirming that Noah would not be available for the crucial SEC showdown against Tennessee. “It’s a tough loss for our team,” Calipari said. “Trent has been an integral part of our lineup this season, and we all wish him a speedy recovery. We will adjust as a team and stay focused on the task at hand. The next man up mentality is something we’ve lived by, and we’ll continue to embrace that approach.”
While the specifics of Noah’s injury have not been fully disclosed, sources close to the team suggest it could be a lingering issue that requires rest and rehabilitation. The Wildcats, who have already faced their share of injuries throughout the season, will now need to adapt without one of their standout forwards.
Noah, who has averaged 12 points and 7 rebounds per game, has been a significant contributor to Kentucky’s success this season. His presence on both ends of the floor has made him a crucial part of the Wildcats’ rotation, and his absence could prove challenging as Kentucky prepares for a tough matchup against a highly ranked Tennessee team.
Kentucky fans, who were eagerly anticipating the game at Lucas Oil Stadium, will now turn their attention to how the Wildcats adjust in Noah’s absence. Players like Oscar Tshiebwe and Cason Wallace are expected to step up and shoulder more of the load offensively and defensively, while Coach Calipari will likely look to his bench for contributions.
The March 29 game will be a pivotal one for both teams, with postseason implications on the line. Kentucky will need to find a way to overcome the setback and maintain their momentum as they head into the final stretch of the regular season.
As the Wildcats prepare for the contest, the team and their supporters will undoubtedly be hoping for a quick recovery for Trent Noah, who has been one of the bright spots for the team throughout the year. Kentucky fans can only wait and see how the Wildcats adjust without their star forward as they face off against the Tennessee Volunteers in what promises to be an exciting and high-stakes matchup.
