Robinson is officially done
- Thread starter DaDirtyLeb69
- Start date
Has to be announced according to SEC rules I believe.
I got news for ya, I don't think our slide is over yet. All today did was reinforce what direction I think this team is realistically heading. I'm usually pretty positive, but I just can't talk myself into hope for this squad right now.
Yeah, I'm sadly right there with you.
March hasn't been fun for nearly half a freaking decade.
Won't cut any ice with some of these chicken littles.
That stinks.
Regardless of how things end, this was a successful FIRST season for Pope.
Navigated tough injuries and still should end up a top sixteen seed in the tourney.

I'm not sure just beating lsu gets us a 4 either with this news.
I guess they couldn't cover this up for 15 days due to the surgery happening next week. It will cost us seeding, as it should.
We just got decimated (granted to a really good team) and now one of our best player is done for the year.
Sky may not be falling, but it's hailing its *** off. Reality is right now, we're limping into yet another tournament. It's nobody's fault, but it's freaking exhausting after coming of the suck that was John Calipari the last few seasons.
Big loss. Can play point abd make threes. Even with that, they were in it in the first half until the flagrant 1 took away a rebound and gave Auburn two free throws and the ball. It was down hill after that. The difference in points was about the difference in points off turnovers. I believe that hurt more than defense in this game
Guy has never won a tourney game. He has a lot to prove.
Moat overrated player to come here in a while unfortunately.
Well if we can avoid a first round loss vs an Oakland or a St. Freaking Peters, I'll consider it a major upgrade.
Sucks. He was one of my favorite players on the team this year.
If we were healthy, I'd be right there with you. It's very possible we don't win another game.
I think he has proven alot this year. Been much better than I anticipated a year ago with no coach or no team.
He wasn't as good as expected no doubt. Often hid in big moments.
Semper, it would be hard to talk you off the ledge on this one. It wasn’t just a bad loss —- it was a blowout home loss. Naturally, we are all upset over this one. Losing Robinson to me does likely lower your ceiling by quite a bit…just being real. I don’t think a final four run is really feasible without Robinson and it was already unlikely to begin with. That said, I can’t see the team falling below a 4 seed as long as they beat LSU and win an SECT game. If they had kept today close and won LSU game and an SECT game I think they would have gotten a 3 but I think admitting JRob is out for the year will close that door. Now the committee has no reason to account for injuries and health as much.
A bunch of teams across the country can say the same thing.
I do get what you're saying but Cal did have some great years also which some forget to mention!
at this point, considering everything, if we win one sect game and one ncaa game it would be a successful season imo. our starting backcourt can’t go. all ball handling, defense and half court scoring and playmaking essentially gone. williams and oweh overtaxed. a shame.
March used to be so much fun. It's just a painful reminder of what we were the last 6 years.
covid year with Maxey Quickley Richardson would have been fun to watch I liked kentucky chances that year
Not “nearly”, more than.
2017 was the last time I recall feeling pleased with how we performed in the post season ….and even that ended with the maddening Higgins thing.
Yep. My love for sports is just about dead.
Used to love HS Football. Hoptown has sucked for a long time since the glory days of the 90s
College Football and Basketball just aren't the same, and when we're sturggling, it's even less fun.
Pro sports? Baseball and Football were all I really cared about. Titans have sucked and at least the Braves have a title this decade. Outside of that bright spot, my teams have sucked major *** lately.
There's only four guaranteed games left. He's done. He has to do what's best for him at some point.
There are a lot of people saying Pope brought him back to early.After the initial injury he needed season ending surgery but they were hoping for a miracle and tried to have him come back without surgery. But that was never going to be the case. That injury was not going to heal without surgery. His season was done from the get go
I tore the ligaments in my right wrist and had the surgery. Those ligaments don't repair themselves and there is no way to play major college basketball with that injury.
If he just fell and needs surgery, it wasn't going to just heal up by the SEC tourney. LMAO. He would have been gone the first game he returned. His wrist was clearly done.

I think Mark is going to have to make a change to his offense. He needs to start running double screens to get his unathletic shooters some open shots. The dribble handoff that he is running with Williams isn't working because his shooters are just too damn slow to get the separation to get off shots.
