Is UK Shutting It Down for the Season?

Rumors circulating that a couple of guys may have already hung it up.

MJ saying there's a couple guys who broke Covid protocol who may not be there tonight, and some guys that are sick and/or hurt that may not be there. Nobody literally opting out at this time.

Rumors circulating that a couple of guys may have already hung it up.

Kyle Tucker says on Twitter that he doesn't think there will be any surprises. Says Boston has been "hobbled" but will probably play. Also says Jacob Toppin has an illness and might not make trip. Also says that Kentucky might be without an assistant coach.

Very good news.

I wish Cal would be more transparent and cut these vague comments out. It opens the void for rumors to start.

For a guy who has always been on the cutting edge of PR, Cal has been peculiarly awful with it this year. Some of it is frustration (as we havent been able to see how he reacts to failure at UK), but most of it seems attributable to boredom or disdain for the fans.

Frustrating.

Calipari is kind of hobbled PR wise because of Privacy rules. It leaves it up to a lot of speculation as to what is really going on and it doesnt take much to get a lot of smoke going.

Bill’s right but unfortunately it adds another element to the equation: fan approval. This isn’t 2006-09, but there’s still. A ton of negative energy surrounding the fanbase right now.

The “echo chamber” effect is more of a factor now than ever, imo. Has to make it tough recruiting wise and also just in terms of wearing on Calipari.

He can’t shield himself from it nowadays.

ESPN is advertising it so I would assume the game will take place.

Well I know that...but someone posted that Tennessee was playing Gonzaga Saturday night

I think it is pretty clear that we shut down the season a long time ago.

That was me. In another post made right after, I pointed out that the guy who posted that info was wrong. Apparently the account was a prank/hoax account.
