Great. Not worried about missing his offense but desperately need him to contain Sears.
Lemont Butler questionable for bama.

You can say you won’t miss his offense but in a game as free-flowing as this is shaping up to be, the pace will be very hard on us if we don’t have his downhill drives to the basket. I sure hope this is Pope taking advantage of a bruise-based gray area in the rules to mess with Nate Oats’ head.
Carr and butler play and grind it out and then get a week of rest seems like the most likely scenario
Is there any reason we shouldn't just list different starters as "questionable" before each game? Sounds like a strategic advantage from our mastermind coach.
These new designations are kind of ridiculously arbitrary.
Questionable is listed as 50% likely to play. How do you differentiate that from doubtful which is 25% likely?
Carr was listed as questionable two games ago and played well, maybe 4 minutes less.
Not really sure how scientific this whole injury report thing is. I’m not a sports gambler but I guess that’s why they started this?

In the NBA, it seems to be pretty much as you said. Some teams will just throw anyone even a little banged up onto the Questionable list. I feel like doubtful might as well be a 5% chance in the NBA. Guys that are doubtful almost never play barring something miraculous happening.
People keep freaking out over these bogus injury reports. We haven't had a guy questionable not play yet n sec play. He practiced Friday so he's playing.
It will be free flowing as you stated, but it won't be because of Butler. The ball dies in his hands. He has yet to consistently drive and kick it out, and the Alabama game is not the game to practice it. Great defender, though!
I'd be curious to see an NCAA-wide analysis after the season of how often guys played when they were probable, questionable, doubtful. By rule it's 75%, 50%, 25%. But I would wager it'll end up being 95%, 75%, 10%.
LMAO , we've had people questionable for the last few games and they play. Think of "questionable" as in they'll play unless the injury is aggravated and worsening. He'll play but this does mean its entirely possible if Bama goes all mike tyson on him like A&M did , he could have to come out of the game , that would be the worry but he's 100% going to play until his body wont let him any further.
People are used to Cal hiding his players until the roster is decimated from phantom injuries to the point that he can't "hide you".
Butler is a warrior and we desperately need him to win. It's not just his defense, but he's so court savvy and tough mentally and physically that his presence is necessary to win against of team of Bama's character. I'm pretty damn sure he plays and plays his guts out. WE have to hold serve at Rupp and this is one of those very tough games, much like Florida, in which we will have to be hitting our shots, getting some stops and continuing our newfound physicality that we displayed against MSU and Texas A&M.
