Maybe the one guy that we can all be genuinely happy to see win. Congrats, ATC.

I finished fourth in my league. Thanks to Jalen hurts for not wanting to play with a concussion because that screwed me. Also the snow just won't stop.
Blue Bell is too expensive. Give me a Kroger frozen dairy treat any day.
Not very optimistic about our chances @ UT tonight. Slightly more optimistic about our chances against Arkansas at Rupp on Saturday. Really need a healthy Carr & Butler combo on the court for this team to be effective. Hopefully that healthiness manifests itself sooner rather than later.
One thing is absolutely, positively 100% for sure though…Wagner missed 4,324 layups last season while wearing the UK uniform. In the bits & pieces of 3 games that I’ve seen him play wearing an Arkansas uniform he has missed at least a half a dozen more layups. But this Saturday at Rupp…that sorry, overrated sumbritch will hit every damn shot he throws up. Book it.

I have one beef with Mark Pope. He has a perfectly good hairline and chooses to shave his head.
I really like this team. What a win, down essentially 3 players. Pope always seems so poised and his ability to coach and communicate with his players without the hysterics is great to watch.
Kind of ironic that a dude as huge as Pope doesn't use his height as intimidation. Could you imagine 6'10" Dan Hurley or Bruce Pearl?
Fantastic win. Had the Volunteers shook. Time to lay it on the Razorbacks. Would love to see Perry, Noah, Chandler, Garrison and a walk-in the game for the last five minutes or so while the bench loses its mind after every play.
Speaking of which, I can't imagine that there was ANY chance that Perry/Noah dreamed they would be playing significant minutes in the toughest conference in SEC history. Livin' the dream.
Stay cool.

Yep. Huge win last night especially given the circumstances. The silver lining with injuries is that others get the chance to step up & that experience can pay off down the stretch & even into next season. Almanor has been a pleasant surprise. Didn’t realize he could shoot the 3 that well. Last two games he has been on fire.
If this team ever gets completely healthy it could do some damage in March…if they learn how to rebound that is. Gave up 18 offensive boards last night. EIGHTEEN!!! I give zero effs who we have on the court…that’s unacceptable. Rebounding is going to be the death of this team in the tournament if they don’t fix it. Getting Carr back will help…but too many guys standing around watching when the ball goes up and then trying to react after it hits the rim or just continuing to stand and watch hoping a teammate gets the board. Fix that shite, Pope. Otherwise great job on the W.

Unfortunately (Fortunately) I wasn't able to watch last nights game. Don't know what happened but I did not expect Calipari to come into Rupp with his current record and lay it on the Cats. Still like this team though.
Hanging onto a faint glimmer of hope that getting Carr & Butler back healthy & in game shape will allow for a decent March run.
Lack of anything even closely resembling good team defense & a severe lack of rebounding will most likely shatter that fallacy.
What’s the status on Kerr???

Need to look into the possibility of getting more games on our schedule against USCjr & the Vols.
SEC tournament? Doubtful that we get USCjr there though
Not sure. I do know that we absolutely need him for our run in March if we want to get out of 1st gear in the dance. Only guy we have on the roster that is consistently effective at on-the-ball defense.
So my preference is that he sits this weekend and maybe all next week as well to get healthy. I think we can beat both Texas & Vandy without him. Bama is going to run over us no matter who we wheel out on the court.
Conclusion: give Butler a week to heal.
I was just about to call you Captain Obvious but then I realized that we already have enough captains in this thread as it stands. If we breach the “captain quota” DOGE may shut us down.
So I’ll just simply agree with you and post this instead…
