Team Injury Report...

Kentucky fans finding out they will be without Jaxson Robinson in our rematch knowing that he was 4/9 from 3 with 17 points in the first go around

Everytime one of these SEC teams find out they are missing a star player or players they go out and play their best game of the year. This probably worries me more than it does them.

Still rather have that guy out than available.
They live and die by the 3- point shot.
He's one of their better 3 point shooters and has a knack for hitting baskets at the right time.
If we let them beat us missing a key player again, that's on us not taking advantage of an advantage.

Robinson worries me much more than Carr.

Of course with that said, I now expect Carr to go off for 30 points. I apologize in advance.
Oh, I absolutely agree, there. Robinson is probably their 2nd best shooter. I'm just adding some perspective that they are losing his 13 ppg, but adding back Butler and Carr's 23 ppg which they didn't have when they beat us in Knoxville.

I have noticed this, as well.

ZZ and Igor out vs Florida.

Alijah Martin out for UF vs Auburn.

Andrew Carr and Lamont Butler out for UK vs us.

Arkansas is 3-2 with Boogie Fland out, and won their first SEC game against UGA in their first game without him.

Correlation doesn't imply causation.
Tennessee shot horrible against Kentucky
Arkansas had a lot of ex Kentucky players motivated to beat Kentucky and shot way above their average (Kentucky was also down their point guard). Florida shot crappy like we did against them when they played us at home. Was this all because of a different line up or were guys just off on these nights?
Hard to say for sure, but I'd take a team being without one of their roles players on any given night.
I'd be willing to bet if you complied the outcomes of games where a team was missing one of their key role players they fair worse than with that player in the majority of the time.
 
Absolute declarations and basketball just don’t mix. We have a bunch of them on messsge boards these days.

That being said, I do think Barnes had his best coaching performance at Tennessee against Florida yesterday. I personally think Florida is built to do well in the postseason. Whether they do or not is an all together different thing.
What are you talking about? We NEVER have absolute declarations!

Oddly the science says there are the same or fewer ankle injuries with low tops. I’d feel naked in them, but apparently it’s true.
I wonder if that takes into account that a lot of guys wearing low tops are also wearing ankle support/braces underneath their socks. I had to wear high tops but then switched to the mids later
 
Hmm, I believe what you are saying but I would be curious to see how they measured that scientifically.
Me too ... I want to see the research, the initial parameters, how they selected test subjects, how many test subjects were in the study, the pesky assumptions, and those troublesome limitations.
Call me a skeptic if you like ... I prefer analytic. I need to see the data with my own eyes.
I am not calling out SF or the research he was referring to ... I am having visions of all the research I reviewed back in my college days ... and how researchers are structuring models to prove what they already believe is true.
I might even be convinced that superior athlete's suffer less injuries in low tops. But I know how easy it is to turn my ankle these days, And back when I was much younger ... a compound fracture of my ankle ... is what makes me doubt the data. :^)

With a Bunsen burner. How about this: Google “high tops vs low tops in relation to ankle injuries” and read the NIH study.

You definitely have to watch out for the low top lobby. They’re worse than Monsanto.

To your support pt.. Old heads didn’t know anything about the tape jobs done today..
 
Those sort of informative studies need creative funding for the next 4 years😲
From what I read there really isn't any correlation between High tops and Low tops as far as ankle injuries. This may have something to do with players being more prong to injury taping their ankle. I didn't see anything that breaks it down in regards to taping, tho.
