Sitting him out today is all fine and dandy but let’s hope he’s just taking extra precautions instead of actually just still not doing well and might potentially be out for Louisville also. We need him Saturday, Louisville’s PG could cause problems for our ballhandlers if we don’t have butler

They need him Saturday, tonight they can get by with it. Louisville they need him, because Hepburn is really good at pressuring the ball
It would be nice to have him Sat, and it will definitely make it easier for us, but if we can beat Gonzaga on the road without him, I have no concerns about beating UofL at home...regardless of who their PG is.

I’m listening to the radio and the way pope is talking to sounds like tonight is just precautionary and they think he will be good to go Saturday
What Pope has seen an injured player and actually told us what is going on? I don’t appreciate that kind of transparency from a coach.

Hepburn is just a really good defensive guard and can wreck game plans if you don’t have a solid PG handling the ball. Thats why I think uk needs butler for the game Saturday

Long before they got a point guard in the portal, Louisville knew a thing about “Hep-burns”

I'm actually glad he is. Let him heal. We don't need him to win this game and I'd rather get the other guys moved around and acclimated to new roles.

That's fair. I still think we'd handle them without him, but reading the tea leaves it sounds like he'll be back anyway.

Unfortunate that Kriisa will miss it. He's built for rivalry games like that.
