I see no way UK can beat Alabama without Butler and Robinson.

It’s going to depend if we get the Cats from yesterday where you have a bad half/good half we will lose.  If we get 2 of the 1st half Cats we get embarrassed. If we get 2 2nd half Cats we might just have a ball game!  The great thing is, we have it in us….. Can we just execute it?

I also think just like @theguru said to me within the last week, this group thrives on BIG time Top 15 matchups, no matter what the lineup is that we throw out there....  We come out with a different swagger it seems like.  I think the minutes again that Chandler got last night against Vandy could help us big time if we can have him contribute like that, unlike the Vandy game though he HAS TO clean up those Freshman mistake turnovers....  I am drinking the kool aid baby!  Cats with the upset!  Let's keep Bama's losing streak rolling.

Can’t really see this one being close, Bama by 15+

It feels like the games where I think UK has no hope are the games they do well in.  Let's hope that trend continues, because I don't see them winning this one....

I think the Cats will be ready to play as they have all year against top teams. However, we will need to hope Bama has an off night shooting to have a shot.

Alabama 90-82.

On ESPN's College Gameday show this morning they said that both Butler, and Robinson will be out this evening. Not good news.

That's been the expectation all along. Butler may be back Wednesday or next Saturday. Still no real time table on Robinson but he is getting better.

If the Cats continue playing man to man they are going to have to shoot 60% from 3 to have a shot.

Cats led 16-9 at the under 16 media timeout. The Cats are 4-6 from 3 early on today.

Good start. Tough to maintain but it’s a good start.

Cats led by 10 at 28-18 at the halfway point of the first half. They are 6-10 from 3.
