Butler available

I’d try and use him as sparingly as possible for as long as possible. Kid is hurt and plays full bore. Man this tournament is going to be nerve wracking.
Game 1 against a likely 14 seed is still no gimme - upsets happen and those games are sometimes close - but we should try to limit his minutes if we can. After that, you play to win today and you figure out tomorrow tomorrow.
 
No thanks.. just gonna play 1st half and get hurt. Don't do the team that way. Just sit out and get ready for the NBA or NHL. I mean the dude wasn't ready enough for 10 minutes to help out 36 hours ago but throws his hands up saying I'm ready now. Maybe it's just me but been working with a herniated disc for over a year now and if I missed everytime I wasn't comfortable I'd be working at the intersections with the rest of the bums.
 
Need to put the heavy brace back on. They said he switched to a lighter brace to allow more movement in the game he reinjured. ….he had a torn labrum; we don’t need more movement. We need him on the court. I get it; it’s uncomfortable and restricts overhead (hyperextension) mobility. But the team needs his parallel extension and downward…basically we need his ball handling and defense….not his shooting or a weak brace that doesn’t support the contact when he sticks and arm in to try to rip a ball

Pretty awful take directed at someone playing through a torn labrum trying to give his team the best chance to win. It isn’t just “uncomfortable”. We’ve been atrocious in every game but 1 without Butler/Jax combo. If both are out in the NCAAT we likely drop game 1 or 2.

They are saying he will be available by Thursday… that’s a week of letting swelling and soreness subside and (hopefully) going back to the heavy brace that was working. For a few games before they switched to a lighter brace

This might be the dumbest post ever put on this site and that’s saying a lot. We have a dude playing though a serious shoulder injury and we got posts like yours calling him weak. Fans can fan however they want but with a dumb take like this, your a fan I wish would go support another program.

You sound like an idiot in this post.

This ^ is as bad of a post as I’ve ever seen.

Terrible take. You don't throw your hurt leader out there to appease the will of the fans. You don't get imaging for shits and giggles.

Well he's not working an intersection with a go and stop sign. Butler is playing high level basketball and I doubt he can lift his left arm above his shoulder. I can see how you would translate an intersection job with high level basketball. They're so similar. Plus if the Dr says you sit, you sit. He doesn't have a say so about it.

Agree. If we can give him first round game off that would be ideal. But be dressed just in case needed.

I certainly hope so.
But every college player is supposedly available come tournament time. Mr Miaggi driving across the country putting hands on Butler, Cooper Flagg and Boogie Fland.
 
Is there any chance that Bulter really isn’t gonna be available but UK doesn’t want the committee to punish them for it?
Really couldn't see Coach Pope doing that. From Butler's demeanor Friday night I thought he was ready then, but the staff decided to hold him out for the NCAA Tournament.

I suspect most of the Butler news is for selection committee to hear. Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t expect Butler to be playing when horn goes off on this season. He’ll start the next game, but he’s playing with a bad wing. Just a matter of time before he’s out again. Hope we can get two more games out of him and see where things go from there, but I don’t expect for him to complete two games.
 
He’s hurt and will get hurt again in the first nine minutes as has been the pattern. Wouldn’t put much hope in him.
I’m starting to think he was hurt when he got here and we paid a fortune anyway thinking he could heal.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read on any forum anywhere, regardless of subject. You’re an effing idiot.

Well it's a good thing I don't give a shit if you think I'm a idiot or not. Just because I see Butler as done for the year based on all of his DNP'S. You still holding onto his nuts like he's the best guard to ever come thru here. What's he good at going for steals and fouling. Had 1 good game against Louisville and people like you hug his nuts like he's Rondo. The guy is done fanboy.
