Missing Butler was huge

[etownblue25]

Breaking us down off the dribble. Perfect scenario for Cal and Arkanas. Once Wagner gets in the lane and wither gets.the bucket or kicks it out. Arkansas playing loose withing othing to lose, the shots are falling. Let's lick our wounds and move forward.

The gazillion turnovers tonight certainly wouldn’t have happened if we hadn’t been playing without a point guard. And no way Wagner has the same night if Butler were guarding him.

 

[ABLCommenter]

Arkansas is missing fland. Can we just stop and take the L? Arkansas isn’t going anywhere anyway.

 

[Deli owl]

Ark has 8 players due to injury

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Fland was out as well. We have to be consistent if we are gonna gripe about injuries.

 

[ManitouDan]

OweH and Brea missing hurt too

 

[catben]

We just can't make mistakes against athletic teams.

Arkansas will NEVER shoot like this again this year.

This game is MUCH like the Bama game last year for Cal, an outlier.

We just need to get healthy and concentrate on getting better.

 

[cat tat2]

We missed Butler badly. His ball handling and defensive pressure on the ball were needed.

I agree. With Butler we have been great at stopping ball penetration and a real defensive juggernaut.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

OweH and Brea missing hurt too

And 1/2 of Carr.

 

[ManitouDan]

Carr just needs to be put on the shelf til he’s ready to compete

Excuses

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Carr looks like a shell of himself.

Kriisa is still hurt.

Chandler is in over his head.

Butler is hurt & we need an explanation about what is wrong.

Brea looks like he’s getting worst.

Coach Pope coached his worst game of the year tonight, up there with Ohio State game.

We got punked on all fronts.

 

[crawfords corner]

So friggin tired of injuries, but you had them at home. Inexcusable to lose.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Fully loaded we still lose this game. We can’t guard athleticism. They have it in spades.

 

[mg0721]

Not having a point guard to get us in our offense, defend on the perimeter and handle ball pressure was the biggest key of the game.

 

[NociHTTP]

So friggin tired of injuries, but you had them at home. Inexcusable to lose.

How is it that Houston plays such incredible defense, and they really seem to enjoy doing it? We are just so soft, and it's been going on for what seems like years now here at UK.

 

[JFCats22]

It sounds like we are going to be missing Butler for a long time so Pope better figure it the f out.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Too bad there’s not a waiver wire. We could use a PG.

 

[TheWyldKat]

This team without Butler is fully capable of beating the worst team in the SEC that shoots 25% from three. Just bad coaching. The players didn’t take it serious. And that’s disappointing.

 

[NoDef]

Why has Chandler been not playable, but jumped in front of other kids with an injury?
