With Butler out I don't like our chances. 87-75 Bama wins.

The Bama game...What's your prediction?

My gut says it’s gonna be highly unlikely we win given our current situation. My heart says I won’t give up on this group ever because they surprise me every time I think they can’t win a game.
Sears is going for 25 or more with Butler out. 91-83 Bama
As long as no more injuries I will be fine if we come up a little short against bama. Love to win but if not let the team rest up and get ready for the NCAA.
Realistically Bama should win comfortably after losing Butler and playing until 1 am last night.
But realistically UMBC had no business beating Virginia, Fairleigh Dickinson had no business beating Purdue, St Peters had no business beating Kentucky, etc etc etc. Strange things can happen in March.

Brea hits 11 3’s…we win by 9.
I’ll take it. He’s been balling. I wouldn’t mind seeing him explode for about 30 to go with OO 27.
We gonna need it …everyone that plays will have to produce assuming Butler is out.
After the high of last night, I am predicting pain. I love my Cats, and this is nothing against this team because they have exceeded my expectations, but without Butler, this could get away from us fast.
Seeing a lot of Bama predictions by a sizable amount.
I still think Bama wins, but it's way closer than people are expecting.

Sears draws +12-14 fouls on head-snap floparoonies, and Bama wins going away at the FT line.
On paper, it’s not a great matchup for us. Alabama thrives on driving the ball with multiple guys, and we aren’t great at staying in front of the ball, especially with Butler likely out. We’ve already pulled off a couple of wins that seemed unlikely before tip-off though, so I’m not totally going to count us out.
We need good Amari Williams back to have a chance
Assuming Butler out , they roll us . Horrible timing to have to play our emotional hearts out to win a game . Then less than 24 hours later suit up against a rested team … we really needed to maintain that early momentum but with errors , subs , TOs etc we didn’t play well enough to hold a 6–10 point lead .
I predicted a close loss with Butler.
I expect a 10 to 12 point loss (at least) without him. Alabama is gonna score so maybe if we hit a ton of 3s we keep it close enough to have a shot. Idk.

I thought we had no chance vs Duke, Gonzaga, at Tenn, at Mizzou, at Miss St, and we keep winning. So I just go in with the expectation anything can happen any game because we win and lose some head scratchers.
You can never count this team out, however bama is a different beast. They’ve beat us twice easily. They’re a legit final four squad. Without butler, it ain’t happening.
Pray for a cold shooting Alabama team and the CATS light it up.
It's hard to beat a good team 3 times in one season. We have a good team. Sears can't outscore our whole team.
The guys will bust their butts to get another win for BBN, but I think Bama is just too much with us short handed.
Luckily, we have secured a 3 seed (or should have at least), so it doesn’t hurt us to lose this one.
Actually, we are beat up, so we could probably use the extra time off.

I got a feeling. Cat’s beat Bama tonight without Butler. We will shoot and make a lot of threes.
A win is possible, but unlikely. Maybe we catch Bama a little rusty and we stay in it and catch some magic. I expect our biggest hurdle tonight is being tired and slow, causing some big foul trouble.
Sears will shoot 27 FTs off of four fouls.

I LOVE your attitude, BPC ! ! !
I too, have a positive attitude as I await the tip-off against The Tide.
Other than a couple of really good things that could happen with respect to my own family ... I can't think of anything that would please me more, in the next 24 hours, than to see the 'Cats upset 'Bama tonight.
Go 'Cats !
Get er done son !!!!I LOVE your attitude, BPC ! ! !

I’m expecting a surefire loss just like I did for Duke, both Tennessee games and at Missouri. 😁
Ummm…we are Kentucky. I never expect to lose in basketball. The day that we as fans expect to lose to anybody is the day we are no longer the gold standard.
