Butler is out

[Dontworryboutit23]

In a warmup suit again. They need him Saturday for sure, hopefully he is good by the .

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

That’s ok
Rest up big guy

 

[B.B.H.]

Tonight will be Travis Perry time

 

[B.B.H.]

I know Colgate is 2-8, but having Kriisa and Butler out at the same time is somewhat worrisome. Maybe I’m overthinking it..

You are overthinking it. One of worst teams in CBB. We could win without any starters at all, no exaggeration

 

[MachineHead1]

Robinson
Brea
Oweh
Carr
Williams

We can get by without him until the Ohio State game if we need to. I'd rather have him at 100% because I don't think he's the type player that can be good at 85%-90%.

They need him Saturday, tonight they can get by with it. Louisville they need him, because Hepburn is really good at pressuring the ball

 

[UK90]

This is Travis Perry’s big opportunity.

Make the most of it, kid

Four threes for Perry tonight. I’m calling it

We'll also want a good defender on him

 

[electricat2]

he may be pur most 'important' player.
we have a bit of equity built up. rest/ save him for later if hes not 100%

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

You’re crazy, I like the way you think, 4 3s, a couple of layups. I say he gets 16 points

 

[thunderradar]

Maybe Richie will start tonight

It's Colgate so this is the type of game he should do well n. Pray Butler is back Saturday though.

 

[Basscat1987]

Sitting him out today is all fine and dandy but let’s hope he’s just taking extra precautions instead of actually just still not doing well and might potentially be out for Louisville also. We need him Saturday, Louisville’s PG could cause problems for our ballhandlers if we don’t have butler

I’m listening to the radio and the way pope is talking to sounds like tonight is just precautionary and they think he will be good to go Saturday

It would be nice to have him Sat, and it will definitely make it easier for us, but if we can beat Gonzaga on the road without him, I have no concerns about beating UofL at home...regardless of who their PG is.

What Pope has seen an injured player and actually told us what is going on? I don’t appreciate that kind of transparency from a coach.

That's great news. We definitely need our PG back.

Hepburn is just a really good defensive guard and can wreck game plans if you don’t have a solid PG handling the ball. Thats why I think uk needs butler for the game Saturday

Mr haven’t seen him would of made the situation worse

 

[B.B.H.]

Long before they got a point guard in the portal, Louisville knew a thing about “Hep-burns”

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I'm actually glad he is. Let him heal. We don't need him to win this game and I'd rather get the other guys moved around and acclimated to new roles.

That's fair. I still think we'd handle them without him, but reading the tea leaves it sounds like he'll be back anyway.

Unfortunate that Kriisa will miss it. He's built for rivalry games like that.
