Nothing can wash out the taste of the UofL loss, but a couple of offensive explosions by BB and FB (hopefully) this weekend will help ease the pain.
Unconventional Kentucky Double.
Theoretically, Kentucky and Louisville can still both finish 7-5 this year.
* Until JQ arrives, I'd like to see Pope experiment with Jelavic at the 5 next to Dioubate. BG seems to be just floating out there so I'm not sure what's he's really giving at the moment. Jelavic has the size to guard the 5 and has looked as good as any of our bigs defending guards on switches.
We need some more shooting in the starting line-up.
* This early, it is probably best for everyone for Lowe to take the redshirt and let us adjust the rotation and adapt now. The worst thing would be for him to try to play through the pain for a month and then have to hang it up and waste the year.
Assuming Lowe's out for the year, I don't mind a point guard rotation of Aberdeen and Jasper. This will force Jasper to primarily play point rather than allow Pope to get him minutes at the 2 and 3 to let Jasper show off his scoring ability, which will hopefully be good for his development.
If Jasper develops, we could have two jumbo size point guards by March who can also score and shoot. There are worse problems, especially if Chandler is going to solidify himself as a starter -- which seems probable.
That opens a hole at the 3 for either Noah or Williams to establish himself as Oweh's backup.
I still love my team. Beat Sparty.
That was a pretty good choke by UL last night. Clemson offense is trash but they still have a pretty solid defense up front with 3-4 NFL dudes on it. UL was without their #1 RB. Love to see their season take a complete nose dive down the stretch, they have SMU next, then UK.
I think we are going to beat those hooligans.

This coming from a guy with a long history of shoulder dislocations. Based on my experience, for his own good and the good of UK fan’s expectations, Lowe should just bite the bullet and get shoulder surgery. He’s not going to be able to play high level basketball without injuring it again and again.
After dislocating mine initially, I did it several times playing playground basketball. I never got it fixed and just learned through a lot of excruciating pain what I could and couldn’t do. I never had surgery and it virtually shut down a promising church league basketball and softball career.
I know that his is being called a ‘separation’ and I’m not sure of the distinction, but Pope would be wise to just let JJ and DA man the position and roll with it. It might lower our ceiling and trajectory, but I think those guys are capable of splitting the duties. (I actually witnessed JJ pass the ball a few times last night). This would be better than giving UK fans false hope in believing that our Savior is sitting there waiting for his shoulder to heal.

Probably not.
This is just a freak anomaly. I can't remember a torn labrum to a UK basketball player other than/since Dale Brown in 1993, and now, in back to back years, we lose our vitally important starting PG to identical injuries. The statistical probability of that happening is absurd. I'm not generally superstitious but it's enough to make an otherwise rational person actually BELIEVE in curses.

That drive was, well, damn near perfect. 
I salute the streamers, wherever they were, but good gravy it’s nice to watch the Cats without all that weird shlt going on
Damn, a Billy Jack Haskins throwback reference.
Outstanding.
Outstanding.
How different would our season be, if Boley gets the keys to the offense to start the season? Stoops and Hamdan should go to Hollywood with their ability to keep a straight face while saying that Calzada and Cutter were neck and neck in the preseason.
They didn’t want to eat the NIL and look bad while paying Calzada to be a backup, plain and simple. A decision that probably cost us a win or two.
