In a season filled with firsts for Malachi Moreno, Saturday’s matchup with Florida will be another new experience for the Kentucky freshman center.
The Gators roster one of the best frontcourts in the entire country. Thomas Haugh (6-9, 210), Alex Condon (6-11, 230), and Rueben Chinyelu (6-11, 245) make up a starting front line for Florida that can do a little bit of everything. With plenty of size and various skillsets, those three juniors have fueled the Gators’ streak of winning nine of their last 10 games.
Moreno (and the rest of Kentucky’s frontcourt) has taken on talented bigs all season long, including Gonzaga, North Carolina, Tennessee, etc.
