Couldn't with AJ either. At least we got it in there, screened and screened for the screener. Just needed someone besides Rojas catching it.
They really aren't calling any fouls on Kentucky this half!!!
If they are saying knee for Bruner I can't imagine that being anything good, but guess we will wait and see. We get a win, but lose. Hoping its not as bad at it may seem. We really need a week off!

Can you imagine losing 3 starters in a previous season and still finding a way to win at Kentucky? Me either, wouldn't happen. We have real depth.

What a win! Most of us would have taken a 3-2 SEC record at this point and feared we would be 1-4.
I just watched the second half. Typical Rup Refs! I hate Dick Vitale’s voice!
great win guys. Hate the injuries!!

What a win! Let's hope we get some guys back on Saturday. Congrats guys!! Roll Tide
And for all the guys that said CNO was a High school coach they need to eat crow. He has this team playing hard , good d and winning basketball.
Glad to win, but I’d trade an L in this game to have Bruner back. You can see rebounding seemed to take a nose dive when he went down. Roll Tide!
Great win in Rupp and a huge start to the SEC schedule, but the injuries seem like the bigger story...we are going to need Ambrose-Hylton to grow up fast
Yes we did! Good defense. Good shooting. I hate it when he waxes on about all those other schools that have nothing to do with this game!
Figures we win at Rupp, and can’t enjoy it due to these injuries.
I think this win really showed we had some decent depth. Losing a herb/Brunner a few years ago would of guaranteed a 20 pt loss. Big winning streak for this team and their confidence
I listened on the tune in app. I can’t listen to that douche anymore.
Luckily Reese has been playing much tougher lately, but we need Herb and Jordan for rimprotection and that’s not Alex’s deal, he is more of a perimeter forward but doing better in the paint this year.
Just a PSA because I’m pissy about the injuries: “Should of” is not a thing. You’re all looking for “Should have.”
If Bruner is out then they have no choice but to ride with Reese, Gary and Rojas. Next man up. Oats didn't bring em this far to just lay down and die. Enjoy it guys. Regardless of how good these opposing teams are we have played against a lot of talent and nobody can stay in front of our guards. Still ugly at times but a lot of the early season stuff that we griped about has gotten better. Nothing has changed. Play gritty D for the guys around you and that results in most of the bounces going your way. Roll Tide.
Thanks bud! I fully believe this could be our year. Herb going down will hurt, but I think he will come back no matter what. That is why he will probably end up being my all time favorite player. Bruner hurts worse, but maybe Reese can step up and fill the void. I will not give up on this team, though. Petty can put this team on his back and lead us to some big wins.
I have no idea on Bruner's injury but I tore an ACL playing basketball 35 years ago and it is a crippling pain and believe he would have been on the ground. After the pain subsides, you are fine, just unstable. Mine has never been repaired (big mistake) and only pain is bone-on-bone joint pain. Hopefully his is a sprain that will be fine in a week or so.
If we get Herb back that will help mitigate the Bruner injury.
That has been my thought as well. Hopefully it's nothing season ending.
The bad thing to me is I didn't see what exactly happened. There was no obvious bending of the knee in the wrong direction like we see.
A Mack truck won’t keep him off the floor.
To be fair “should’ve” sounds basically the same as “should of” when spoken, so a lot of people don’t know how to spell it.
