Robinson is officially done

I think he has proven alot this year. Been much better than I anticipated a year ago with no coach or no team.
The haters are going to hate. If you notice, they are silent after wins. They only come out after losses.
 
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
The internet sports doctor has spoken,
 
If they beat lsu they pretty much lock up a 4
Disagree. Injuries and recent games matter. The news of Robinson being done and a strong possibility of 1-2 (beat LSU, drop Mizzou and first round SECT) the rest of way doesn’t lock anything up. We could be a 4, but could also very well be a 5. Honestly, there’s not much real difference. Thing is, we’d be 6-9 in the last 15 and down arguably our best player. For NCAAT seeds, you are what you are and not what you were.

Ummmnm lmao not quite. Nobody has had the amount of injuries we’ve had this year. Our injury total isn’t normal.
While it isn’t normal, a good amount of teams deal with this level of injuries. Our situation is worse than the norm and accentuated because our talent ceiling isn’t extremely high and our depth isn’t very talented. Not a knock or necessarily a bad thing, just is what it is.
 
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.
We need to run the FR in my opinion. We shouldn't be playing for this year at this point. It's time to get better for next year
Carr, Brea, Butler, Williams, Almonor won't be back. And imo, Williams and Butler are the only two guys worth playing the rest of this season for. We have to be better next season. 22-13 seasons won't cut it here.

The committee cares about good wins, we have plenty of those, and Kentucky doesn’t have any bad losses. They will be a 4 seed if they win Tuesday

Your opinion. Mine is a win vs LSU at home solidifies nothing. Win that, get drilled at MU and then if an 8 seed lose in first round of SECT…I’d lay money on a 6 seed before I would a 4. The good wins are there. The leading scorer from most of those good wins isn’t. It’s not nearly as black and white as you seem to think it is…Now here’s the real thing. Not a ton of difference in a 4 or 5. I know everyone has that 5/12 mystique thing, but it’s not really a thing. Oddly enough, as a 4 or 5 we are just an older more experienced version of what our opponent would be.

It’s not my opinion I have just been watching what bracket people have been doing, and they all seem to be way higher on Kentucky than a lot of our fans are for some reason.

They are basing everything off of the here and now. Right now, yes we are a 4 seed. Beating LSU won’t change that. Losing to Mizzou shouldn’t. Losing in the first game of the SECT probably does, especially factoring in JR being done. Those things all matter.

Rather than it being your opinion, you’re taking someone else’s opinion. I get it. We’re all just speculating obviously. But my speculation is beating LSU at home locks up nothing given the JR news and the real possibility of that LSU game being our last win.

These comments are shameful and absurd and thank the Lord Mark Pope will never think this way. This is Kentucky. We play to win every game and advance as far as we can. We have never, and will never, throw in the towel on a season. The team members you say are not "worth playing the rest of this season for" (and you did not mention Oweh so I don't know whether you consider him worthy to participate or not) committed to UK on the promise that our coaching staff and our program would give them the best possible chance to win and be successful. If we renege on that, we will never sign another decent player and we should drop the sport altogether.
 
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.
Why do you say we? All you do is dog and belittle the coach and team

I have no issue with noah at all. He actually adds quite a bit. Perry is good solid minutes and stretches the floor. Chandler gives us nothing but turnovers and looking lost.
 
I'm not terribly upset that Robinson is done for the year. In the last eight games before his injury, in which Robinson played without any known limitations - U.K. was 3-5, including losses to Texas, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt.

Krissa is done for the year too is the rumor. Sounds like he won't be back next year or he is at least undecided.
It would have been nice to have him back for the tourney. Probably couldn't save the day but he would have helped IMO.
