What's the consensus on Robinson & Butler?

My uneducated guess is that Butler will be back for the NCAA tourney. I think there's less chance for Robinson. That's just me trying to read between the lines.

Butler will return Wednesday and Jax returns for Auburn. For the ones saying they return after that then Kentucky will only win one game in that scenario and be 19-12. They can’t survive any longer without them.

Yeah I think both guys are probably ready to go this week.
 
I still think Butler has a a labrum tear or such. He won’t be 100% this year and is susceptible to a re-injure.
Hope not but that’s my feeling.

We are better with them, but we are more than holding our own without them. Going 1-3 the rest of the way without them would be a poor outcome. Saying we “can’t survive” without them is fairly odd talk, considering how we played vs. Vandy and even at Bama.

Yeah but you can start to tell the guys getting asked to do more are starting to get tired and out of their comfort zone. They can win at home without them and maybe at okla, but anything other than that is really tough because there just isn’t enough.

If Oweh didn’t have his worst game of the year, it’s a 5 point game or less
 
I don’t think it’s pessimism to say/think that the guys being asked to do can’t hold on for much longer. I am very happy with what pope and the players have done so far. Just being realistic about the rest of the season we have guys being doing asked to more than what they are capable of right now. Butler and Jax are really good players who make things easier for this team

Pope needs to adjust his thinking in terms of minutes played. Amari needs to be on the court 34 minutes per. This is vital. And I believe he can be. This is a Mark Pope thing and it just isn’t working well putting BG on the court so many minutes. Starters need to get at least 5 minutes more per game.
