The Kentucky Wildcats desperately need Derek Willis to return to action. We saw them struggle Saturday against Vandy. Heading down the stretch, they need his scoring and his ability to space the floor to create momentum heading into postseason play.
It seemed unlikely that he would play tonight in Gainesville after Calipari said yesterday, “He’s getting closer. I doubt if he plays tomorrow, but he’s going up and down (the court).” During today’s shootaround he went up and down the court, took shots and took contact in the post.
If you don’t believe me, look for yourself, thanks to KYWildcatsTV’s video and Periscope.
