I'm not on the Butler train, I know it's our best chance to advance but when's the last time he's made it through a game.
He had played 4 straight games without re-injuring while using the heavier brace with more restricted motion.
—20min @ Oklahoma (foul trouble)
—30+min @ Aub
—25+min for LSU and Mizzou.

Went to a light brace with more freedom of movement and was out in the first 10 min of the SEC Oklahoma game.

Get the swelling and soreness down…put the heavy brace back on…understand hit limits his shooting but will help prevent aggravating the injury. Gives us defense, floaters, and ball handling which is all we need from him

“Hey Kentucky fans, looks like LaMont Butler doesn’t have season ending injury! Here’s a feel good article about how his teammates are happy about it!”

Random internet poster: “I’m not on the Butler train”

Uhhhh, ok? The internet is such a weird alternate reality.

I think some posters on here wouldn’t be happy unless we had a starting lineup of John Stockton, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, and LeBron James.

Let's all not forget how soft our team is too, while we're at it. Not tough. Soft. As in charmin soft. Let's get some of these posters here to tell us how and why they're soft. Not to mention how Coach Pope is too nice of a guy. 😂

I swear, some takes on this board just blow me away.

UK ‘fans’ are the f*cking WORST I swear to god

You don’t even sound like you’ve watched the last month of the season lmao. Our fanbase is literally 30% miserable idiots
30%? Good gravy I hope it's nowhere near that much. 80% of the fanbase don't even post online

The brace makes him shoot lay ups like Hagans that's why he hates it but it never hurt his fts n he never was a great shooter but even with Brace he hits wide open one's in rhythm still.

Yeah. It limits his left but his right is still fine. I’m sure he hates not being able to finish w either hand around the rim…but if it keeps him in the floor then it’s the best thing for us strictly for defense, penetration, ball handling

Dumbest take I’ve seen all year.
Maybe I'm missing something but Butler has finished which game since SEC play? He's hurt and everyone wishing him to swoop down with a cap and lead us are dreaming. This team is Oweh's and Perry is our point guard of the future if we want to return to the final four. KY kid on this roster next 3 years with March Madness experience is exactly what we been missing in our program. BUTLER is injured in two spots in his shoulder and can't shoot a lick.

Perry isn't leading our team anywhere. He's getting recruited over as I type this and will every off season.
