Bluegrass mentioned this when he called in earlier, which I love that we have a caller on KSR who just calls himself Bluegrass.

That just makes my soul happy, right?

The last two seasons, the two seasons that Pope has been here, his starting point guard has been in and out with injuries, right?

Like Lamont Butler had the shoulder.

Jalen Lowe had the shoulder.

You always say, right, what's our joke?

The running button, the point guard button, right?

Point guard play, point guard play, point guard play.

If your point guard gets injured and it happens in back-to-back years and it's fluke injuries and it's freak injuries and it's shoulders and they're trying to play through it and they can't, how much –

That has to get factored into the conversation of they finished seventh, they finished fifth, you're 22-14 last year.

I don't think you can just gloss over the fact that Mark Pope has lost his starting point guard both of the two years that he's been at Kentucky.

That has to be something that we discuss.

How much should that be factored in?

Zero.

Zero?

Zero.

Zero.

I mean, two years ago, maybe a little bit because, you know, you had a couple.

You had Kirk Crease as a backup.

He got hurt also.
