Carr is out today

[Wildcat-in-STL]

What 4 game stretch for anyone in the sec isn’t brutal.

 

[B.B.H.]

I have faith the refs will triple screw us on the road and without one of our best players, we wont be able to overcome a ref screw job.

Good lord

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Yeah they are but honestly I’d take some L’s if it guaranteed his better play later on. We need Almonor to step up big here now. Maybe it’s Noah’s time to hit some shots and play a little or Chandler to finally get it going.

If Kentucky can be 16-6 and find a way to get 2 of them then I won’t be concerned

Florida has had a relatively easy stretch by the looks of it and even they struggled with the so called worse teams

 

[fatguy87]

Finishing 12-6 in the SEC would be a wild success.

I’m thinking we will be closer to .500

 

[catben]

A person of KSboard is saying he has a stress fracture

Those words, “stress fracture”. STILL make me sick hearing it going back to Sam Bowie days.

Hate to hear it.

 

[ukfan041]

I look for AA to step up and have a big game. Also think Carr is back for UT. Noah likely to get some minutes today too

 

[JonathanW]

I keep telling folks that they shouldn't be surprised if we go 8-10 in the SEC. Injuries, extreme strength of schedule. That's still probably good for four or five seed.

And we keep telling you that you are crazy to think we might go 8-10. Sure it’s possible, but so is 14-4

 

[Wonky]

There's no way we reach 12 wins. That means we would only lose four more times.

We still have road games against Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Alabama, and Missouri. We will lose at least three of those.

Then we face Auburn at home as well as Tennessee. At best, we lose one of those.

We split our road games against Texas and Oklahoma.

9-9 is a very likely scenario.

You sure are stating a lot of opinion as fact.

 

[NociHTTP]

Our depth in frontcourt is swallow, should recruit 3 more frontcourt players in next season

Spit on that. Maybe it'll open up the offense again?

 

[NociHTTP]

Yeah they are but honestly I’d take some L’s if it guaranteed his better play later on. We need Almonor to step up big here now. Maybe it’s Noah’s time to hit some shots and play a little or Chandler to finally get it going.

Isn't Chandler out for the season?

 

[Kuhldaddy]

Vandy has no one over 6'9
Carr would have exploited this
On the positive though, Almanor won't be overmatched

We wont becany worse that 10-8. Most likely 11-7. You have to consider other teams have their ups and downs as well. This is the team that has beaten 5 top 15 teams

 

[tmuck]

I think they're trying to give him time to fully heal. He's played through the back thing for a couple weeks now.

Pope didn't sound like he thought it would fully heal with rest...He said it was gonna be all about pain management with him...That's not good

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Fan posts team news on a Kentucky team message board. Yeah man call the cops on me for posting news. Ones like yourself are always the worst.

If Carr is out for an extended period of time anything is on the table. We aren't that team without Carr as he is an important piece to our successes IMO.

 

[wildcat_nation28]

this is a must win for us today I feel like

 

[UKat51]

They just announced, it’s gonna be tough to win today without him

Good thing Vandy does not start anyone over 6’7”

 

[storm1507]

Yikes! Vandy is tough at home regardless. This team already has a history of stepping up when the chips are down. Big game so I hope to see them step up to the challenge.

 

[UKat51]

You don't reckon Carr is done for the year? Sure hope not.

I think we are resting Carr for additional healing time. Vandy is not a tall team.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Carr fouled out this early? 😁

 

[Bkocats]

I’m sorry but that shits funny

Carr brings more to the table other than hos height

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

That’s the saving grace today, but Carr provides 10-15 points almost every game he plays in. So who steps up and provides that offense today?

Almonor. Even more spacing and a lot of threes today

 

[wildcat_nation28]

hope so

 

[B.B.H.]

hope so

Me too. Even I don’t know if I believe that one. We really need this win today

 

[rivercatinfl]

Me too. If Carr has a stress fracture or herniated disc, depending on the severity, he won't be back IMO.
I hate to speculate on injuries but I had both of these issues when I was younger and you don't play high level bball with those injuries.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Almonor. Even more spacing and a lot of threes today

Maybe, Almanor is certianly a better shooter, but Carr can get buckets around the rim Almanor can’t

Yeah I know 😞

 

[gharding07]

He had a week off to rest and still can't go? Doesn't make sense at all.

 

[wildcat_nation28]

point blank he is hurt been playing through it probably made it worse

 

[gharding07]

Exactly. We already lost to Georgia. Can't afford another road loss to an unranked team.

 

[Hoskins91]

Ok
Guess I’m a little more optimistic than you
Without being unrealistic
Cow is not over there stomping anymore

Pope has never won anything…where is this confidence coming from?

 

[Fox2monk]

Isn't Chandler out for the season?

Not to my knowledge. Maybe I didn’t see that.

Back issues don’t go away easy man.
