Summary

Sources Say has some crow to eat, and they’re bringing in a heavy-hitter to prepare some of it in the form of Michael Moreno — former Eastern Kentucky basketball star and brother of current Wildcat, Malachi Moreno. Where did things go wrong to start the season and how did this team climb out of rock bottom to pull off back-to-back wins vs. Indiana and St. John’s before Christmas? There is still work to do, obviously, but just how many of the problems are fixed? Is it simply an identity shift? Or the availability of both Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
