The last time freshman Trent Noah had been on the Rupp Arena court before Big Blue Madness was when Harlan County lost to Lyon County and current UK teammate Lyon County in the state tournament championship game.
Noah called the state tourney experience “good times” and what a “fun game we got to experience together” in the state title game.
“The thing that’s really fun is whenever we’re in practice and he hits a 3 and it goes on our side of the scoreboard, I think that’s the biggest thing,” Noah said. “But no, he’s a great human, great basketball player.
“I just get to learn so much from being around him every day, being able to live together, just getting to see his work ethic and the way he goes about things. It just makes me a better person and player.”
Perry edged Noah in the 3-point contest at Big Blue Madness.

The best part about it is they will more than likely be here for the next 4 years. I can’t wait to watch them get better and better every year.
Absolutely! It will be great!
UK has only won National Championships when at least one key player on the team was born & raised in Kentucky. Darius Miller was the last to do it in 2012 and Perry & Noah will be the next to do it.
Grateful for Kentucky lads w character, who care about UK past n present, n are also Grateful for the opportunities 🙏
