We were doing fine when healthy.
Do you always seek public validation from complete strangers, or just when UK take an L?
Odd.
Odd.
You were right that we lack athletes on the level of what you need. You were wrong about the team not being very good, unless you predicted us to lose 40% of our starters and another rotation player. We were good. So unless you provide a link predicting all that, no you sound ridiculous. Furthermore, why would you want a pat on the back for predicting our downfall. Wth?
With this current version, yes.
With the full version, no.
With the full version, no.
So this team can guard huh? Ole miss begs to differ…And Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, miss state, Vanderbilt, just to name a few
How many threads are you going to start?
You saying our defense that gave up 90 points to miss st, Alabama and Florida with butler was good?
7 more before midnight is what I have on tap
Man I was really worried that we wouldn’t make this about you.
But you weren't right. Our 2 point guards are out. I didn't see you forecast these injuries.
Heck, take anyone's only 2 point guards away and see how they do in this ridiculous SEC.
If Butler played in this game, we might gave won it. We damn sure don’t give up 98 points.
Why don’t we give up 98 with butler? What about our defense with butler playing leads u to believe this. We gave up 90 to freakin miss st lol
You kidding? He might be the best on ball defender in the country. We had nobody that could be the head of the sbake on defense, theulir ball handlers got wherever and whatever they wanted.
You're nuts if you think Butler wouldn't make a difference.
We gave up 102 to Alabama with Butler. The defense didn't suddenly get bad when he went out. It's been awful all year and it's getting worse. This team is sinking.
Dude did u just start watching this team today?!?!! Like wtf lol we have been giving up 90 points to any team with a pulse since sec play started
This is what I’m saying. Some people are saying it’s bc butler is out. Like wtf how can u forget about all the high scoring outputs we allowed even with butler
Tenn, Miss St, A&M all have athletes and we stayed with them and played well.
not having a PG has caught up to us and teams have figured out how to crush us. we need Butler back bad

We gave up 100 to Florida with him.
85 to Louisville.
90 to Mississippi State.
82 to Georgia.
85 to Ohio State.
102 to Alabama.
What game did Lamont Butler shut down the other team's offense?
Congratulations you get an award for being right about Kentuckys bad luck. When healthy this team was just fine.
Tennessee missed 35 WIDE OPEN THREES for crying out loud. Sometimes I wonder if some of u fans even watch the games
When we were healthy we were still a piss poor defensive team. We outscored a couple of good teams. I doubt we could beat Duke on any floor one game out of 10 with how we are currently playing ZERO defense. We could have five 5 star kids on the floor and still not beat good teams on a regular basic with a defense like we have. If Pope's theory is to out score our opponents, he will not last. I personally believe he will get kids in his recruiting that can and WILL play defense. Bruce Peal willgive a kid bench splinters if he does not play sound defense. Same thing with Rick Barnes.
Op is not a uk fan … troll city
You’re right I’m not a uk fan. I’m a KENTUCKY fan. Say it right
how can you be taken serious when you say 35 wide open 3's. most of them were guarded but that doesnt fit your narrative.
Sure defensively we've been terrible regardless of being healthy or not.
But we still won some of those big games even with the crappy defense.
The mixture of elite offense and crap defense .............we can still do good.

Didn't say it was good, but it was adequate enough to be ranked in the top 10.
Our rotations/communication were better and Butler could usually stay in front of his man.
I just reposted one of my threads from May @Basscat1987 in which we both called out conference play being a challenge for this team.
We could outscore teams healthy. Now we cannot outscore nor defend. In short, if we were healthy we would not have many losses.
