No Butler, No Robinson = No win.

It's not just those 2. We've been without Kriisa since Gonzaga game, and Carr is hardly in good health. He's playing with a nagging back issue. Not playing even half the game and not getting into double digits. We are effectively playing without 4 of our main players that we started with. But some people would rather complain and bash the players and coach than accept reality. You can't have consistency, with our injuries this season. We had Perry and Noah as our 2 guards down the stretch. What do you expect out of that?

He did have that silly reach that was big but Noah actually did well on Johnson I thought.

But just reflect on that. We had to have our preseason 12th man guard the leading scorer in the SEC and soon to be first round pick. Just not an ideal situation obviously!

I watched a professional motocross racer race a complete 20 minute race plus heat race with a broken fibula last week. How bout they just toughen up and play

Yup. Totally the same. Honestly never an excuse to miss a basketball game unless you're dead.

My wife is pregnant and goes on a 30 minute ride in a car to her job every day. If she can drive pregnant, these guys need to man up and play. No excuses.

Our strength and conditioning coach must suck. I can't remember any team having this many injuries.

It's entirely possible he does. I have no idea. Couldn't even tell you his name. Couldn't pick him out of a lineup.

But according to Pope, Robinson had a collision in practice.
We saw Butler's shoulder get landed on diving for a loose ball.

Not a whole lot you can do to prevent that, at least in my mind.
