Robinson is officially done

Guy has never won a tourney game. He has a lot to prove.
I hate judging a coach based on an extremely limited tournament performance. He's been to two tournaments, that's not any sort of sample size to make judgements on. And he was a 6 seed each time. It's not he's 0-for while getting great seeds. He's been extremely mildly upset in two single games.

There are a lot of people saying Pope brought him back to early.After the initial injury he needed season ending surgery but they were hoping for a miracle and tried to have him come back without surgery. But that was never going to be the case. That injury was not going to heal without surgery. His season was done from the get go
Thanks doc.

Are my X-rays ready?
 
This should have been kept under wraps until after the selection show. We will probably end up dropped to a 5 vs 12 game or some crap due to this info.
Or due to the fact we’re likely to go 1-2 the rest of the way prior to the tourney. 🤷🏻‍♂️
 
Good to know now instead of being worried about it around tournament time. Its up to Coach now to maximize who he has left. Lets just hope this is the end of this ****ing injury crap.

Brea is better anyway. Just hurts depth because now noah and chandler will have to play more. Noah is very productive on the boards but Chandler will have to get some run, which isn't good.
No, Chandler really doesn’t. There’s absolutely no reason in the world to have to play your 10th guy. Hell, At this point in the season you should be down to 7-8 dudes playing 98% of the mins.

Makes sense.

I think so too, I did not feel good seeing the pain he was in and how he held it a while back.
 
Semper, it would be hard to talk you off the ledge on this one. It wasn’t just a bad loss —- it was a blowout home loss. Naturally, we are all upset over this one. Losing Robinson to me does likely lower your ceiling by quite a bit…just being real. I don’t think a final four run is really feasible without Robinson and it was already unlikely to begin with. That said, I can’t see the team falling below a 4 seed as long as they beat LSU and win an SECT game. If they had kept today close and won LSU game and an SECT game I think they would have gotten a 3 but I think admitting JRob is out for the year will close that door. Now the committee has no reason to account for injuries and health as much.
I totally agree with this, BUT I’m not sure that SECT win is better than 50/50. We are on the 8/9 line? I guess if we get the 9 then we can get uSC. I’m not sure that a Wednesday win gets the 4. It’ll be close. Honestly, without Robinson and say we finish 2-2 I’m not sure we should be a 4. Hell, we are 5-7 last 12 games.

I’d like to read more about this.
Do you have a link, if you don’t mind?
Thanks!
 
Ceiling now is a 4 seed as they will take those losses without Robinson more into account.

I mean I guess we could still get a 3 seed if we won our last 2 then won the 1st round of the SEC tournament and then lost to Auburn or Bama type team in the quarters.
 
I think Mark is going to have to make a change to his offense. He needs to start running double screens to get his unathletic shooters some open shots. The dribble handoff that he is running with Williams isn't working because his shooters are just too damn slow to get the separation to get off shots.

Agreed... Brea and company are working way too hard to get their "open looks" need to get them open somehow.
