As Kentucky prepares to head south to Oxford today, injuries continue to be a major story for Mark Pope’s team.

Kentucky played without starting point guard Lamont Butler again on Saturday, who hasn't suited up since the Vanderbilt loss. Many thought Butler's injury wasn't going to be a long-term issue, but Mark Pope's postgame comments on the injury could change this thought.

Mark Pope’s update regarding Lamont Butler on Saturday night made it sound like he could be out for a while. Kentucky must find a way to win consistently without him.

Lamont Butler has been a big part of Kentucky's team this season, but he will now be out for a 3rd consecuctive game with an injury.

Here is our prediction as Ole Miss faces Kentucky this college basketball season. Plus, injury updates and latest news.

The Wildcats, now ranked No. 14 in the nation, are 15-6 overall and just 4-4 in league play after Saturday night’s emotional home loss to ex-coach John Calipari and the unfancied Arkansas Razorbacks. UK has now lost three of its last four contests.

Lamont Butler has been a major piece for Kentucky under new head coach Mark Pope. Unfortunately, the star guard is not going to be available when John Calipari returns to Rupp Arena with Arkansas.
