Kentucky at Florida

[Lawrence Wright]

Congrats on the win. The SEC is Florida then everyone else a distant second.

Thanks...hopefully we drop in the rankings again.

We play better when that happens.

Well this game went like I expected. Florida is clearly the best team in the SEC this year. I will be interested to see how they do in the NCAA tournament. Florida is probably capable of beating anyone this year.

You mean a distant last. The SEC sucks bad

 

[Plecoptera]

Yeah, the SEC is horrible this year. Though, there really aren't any great teams in any conference this year. Top to bottom, the BIG10 (or what ever they call it now) is probably the best conference this year.

@Andy_Staples: Noel being taken out of the O'Connell Center in a wheelchair.

@PBPjasonlieser: UF's Patric Young on Nerlens Noel: "His leg was wobbly, knee looked dislocated. It was gruesome. I don't want to think about it."

 

[Plecoptera]

Sounds like he dislocated his patella. Hope he is ok.

That's awful about Nerlins. Gotta love the one and done rule...

Not sure I follow your logic in that statement.

He should be getting paid in the NBA right now. Who knows how bad this injury will set him back?

The UK Rivals site is blaming Noel's injury on everything from the physical layout of the O'Dome, to Mike Rosario for selfishly not passing the ball back to Patric Young.

Also, the refs were clearly in UF's back pocket tonight, and this had an adverse psychological effect on UK's approach to playing transition defense...or defense in general.

Looked like a torn ACL to me.

[Berry4Heisman14]

Yeah that's a torn ACL

 

[McCat]

Just sick for the kid. Hope that he can rehab it over the summer and make some professional money. Was worried over the last few weeks that he was having a knee issue because he tweaked it and seemed to be protecting it in games. Now we know.

Some Kentucky fans are stupid, LW.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

I wish Noel the best. I know how UK fans feel I'm a Bulls fan. Noel will return stronger than ever the intense rehab now days combined with the medical technology allows this often. It's just the mental aspect that can be difficult

 

[golfballs]

What is this?

[golfballs]

yikes

It's Lattimore-esque. Poor kid. Just hope he gets his rehab and make a lot of money next year.

 

[99gator]

Whoa. I didn't see it that way at the time.

That's horrible. Poor kid

 

[golfballs]

You could hear him on TV screaming in pain. Like full on yelling. Never heard that before.

 

[Vols4life]

his left knee had a black thing already on it? was he hurt before his right knee had a regular knee pad that players wear nowadays

A few games ago he came up limping after a hard landing, and I've noticed that he's been babying that knee. So he probably had some damage going on already.
