JRob and Butler return to practice

Rust isn’t a huge factor lol guys don’t forget how to play or lose a large amount of conditioning that quickly. They are still working out.
That might be the most incorrect statement I have read in a long, long time.
I am assuming you have played sports at some point in your life, if you actually believe this, that tells me you have only ever played rec league type sports.

That’s sad. Today we are a 3 with KU the 6 seed. Lol. I’m impatient when it comes to tourney success. Waited long enough.
I get it, cal ruined everything for all of us. This year we gotta be patient with pope, they can make a run but it’s also very thin margins for error
 
I can’t speak on butlers injury but Robinson injury is very hard to play through. It’s literally his shooting wrist and it takes a couple of weeks to come back from that
How long has Robinson been gone? It would seem to me that an injury to the shooting wrist might
require easing back into playing, which would involve some playing before getting back to some
where near normal. I'm sure he has been receiving therapy on a daily basis. If he has returned to
practice working out soreness and stiffness would seem to be the next logical step. Playing is
about the only way to do that. It might take 3 or 4 games for him to be somewhere near his normal self

The rotation will be cut when the tournaments roll around. Don’t have your hopes up of seeing much of Perry or Noah/Almonor once Robinson and Butler are available.
Disagree. Pope has already talked about widening the rotation rather than shrinking it. I think he sees an opportunity to develop his entire roster and beat teams in stamina. I do expect bench minutes to slightly decrease but I expect most everyone to play based on his own words

I think it’s been 2 weeks.

Not to let facts get in the way, but since 1985:
4 seeds have 243 wins
5 seeds have 180 wins
6 seeds have 163 wins

I’ll take the 4 seed.
yeah because I rather face Duke, Auburn, bama or Florida, instead of the 2 or 3 seeds. But hey you take those facts and go whatever way you want.
 
I think what is important is the SECT and NCAA. I think both of them need to come back for the last or last 2 games of the year. Yes we need them. It would be terrible if they play and get reinjured. Then our chances for any kind of run is over.
 
Saw an interview with one of the American Hockey players. He was calling out the other pro sports and athletes, mainly NBA. Said there's a difference between being hurt and being injured. he said hockey players take a beating, they're all sore and hurting. if you have a legit injury, that's one thing, if you're sore and aching or bruised but not broken, then suck it up buttercup and get your butt out there. I think Robinson and Butler obviously had legit injuries, Robinson's wrist affects his shooting, a huge part of his game, as with Butler's Shoulder. but if they have progressed to something that can be played through then tape it up and get out there.

I think Pope will push them to get out there, but Cow sure as hell wouldn't.

Historically,
4 seeds have 49% more wins than 6 seeds;
4 seeds have 35% more wins than 5 seeds

But your logic is way better.
This assumes a 4 seed is seeded properly and is actually a better team than the 5 and 6 seeds. That is why they win more. UK will not be a better team as a 4 seed than they are a 5 or 6 seed. That being said, if you avoid playing a 1 earlier, I can understand the point @Dontworryboutit23 is making.
