“It just does not seem fair” is Mark Pope’s statement regarding Lamont Butler’s shoulder injury.
It is similar to a gut punch. In order to maintain your focus on the game, you are attempting to suppress that emotion. That was an amazing job that our troops did.
“We will assemble it piece by piece. I will continue to pray fervently that he will be able to return to the floor this year. It does not seem fair at all. This game is not fair. Though I am not saying that, I would really wish for him to be able to play on a court once more. Let us see how it turns out.
Butler left the game at the 9:35 mark in the first half. After having his shoulder worked on by the trainer on the sideline, he went to the locker room and didn’t come back until midway through the second half wearing a warm-up shirt instead of a jersey. He was eventually ruled out. His status for Friday’s game vs. Alabama remains uncertain.
