Game thread Alabama at Kentucky

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.

I don’t know, Reese can play rim protector. The problem is his one-on-one defense. If we double for him, that should help.

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.

You tore your ACL and didn't have it repaired? I don't know how the science was 35 years ago but that's wild. My father in law played in the Braves minor league system with Lemke and Glavine and those guys. He could throw it harder than all those guys. Tore his arm up and you just didn't come back from it back then like today. He's an elite athlete when compared to anyone his age. But he tore his achilles a few years ago and just let it heal on his own. He's no where near the same as he was before that. His healthy leg is much bigger than the other. Yours like that?

Yah. Now he just hits ever ball out in his 50 and over league. But he doesn’t play SS like he did before.

Oats said herb is hand/finger deal and Bruner is his knee. They will be evaluated tomorrow.

He clarified and said hand injury so it is not his wrist.

I just watched the Bruner play about 10 times guys and that is the least amount of contact I have ever seen to result in a season ending injury. He reaches for the outside part of the knee which lends itself to a LCL injury. I know the mechanics are different when you are 7 foot tall but I find it hard to believe that it's anything more than a strain. Funny thing with knees though it doesn't have to look bad to be bad. God please let these guys be ok.

Depends on the severity.

He went to dr. It was torn. He just never got it repaired. Never got rehab. He limped around for a long long time. Still doesn’t walk normal. Hurt leg still smaller than the other. And he’s in great shape. Still works out and such.

I was planning to get it repaired by Dr. Lemack. I went to pre-surgery rehab planning and he made me watch a video of the surgery. First thing I saw was a Black and Decker drill going into a knee and it almost made me sick. I turned off the video and said no surgery. Lemack told me I would need a knee replacement in 25 years and I left hoping medical science would have a pill to fix it in 25 years.

I can still run but have no cartilage left so occasionally I get a steroid shot to kill the pain. I still work out but that is mostly swimming.

That's crazy. Surely they've moved on from the Black and Decker procedure.

If y’all remember our RB Santonio Beard, he was diagnosed with a torn ACL upon arrival at campus and had played his SR yr of high school football with it.
