Trent Noah dressed up as The Joker for Halloween

Before Trent Noah committed to Kentucky back in May, Wildcats assistant coach Cody Fueger teased the announcement (as he did with most of the spring commitments) with a gif, a quick clip of an animated version of The Joker saying “BOOM!”. The Big Blue Nation immediately went to work, and it was soon discovered on Noah’s Instagram page that he’s a big fan of Batman’s most well-known rival villain.

So it will come as no surprise to learn that Noah dressed as The Joker for Halloween over the weekend. Alongside his girlfriend Lexie, who was dressed as Harley Quinn, Noah posted a few pictures of their costumes to Instagram with the caption “haha”, which is written out multiple times on his neck to complete the look.

His makeup is pretty creepy-looking to me, so I’d say mission accomplished.

A native of Harlan County, Noah is one of two Kentucky-born players (Lyon County’s Travis Perry) on the 2024-25 roster. The 6-foot-6 guard finished his high school career among the state’s top five all-time leaders in overall points. Noah hit four three-pointers in a row during the second half of Kentucky’s first exhibition against Kentucky Wesleyan on Oct. 23.

By the looks of it, Noah is the only current Kentucky player who went all-out for Halloween (or he was at least the only one who liked his costume enough to post about it on social media). Hopefully more will trickle out — I’m especially interested to see if Kerr Kriisa got into the holiday spirit.

We already saw a couple of UK fans dress up as new head coach Mark Pope (and Rick Pitino) for Halloween. But what would Pope himself wear for Spooky Season? This is the million-dollar question…
