For the first time all season, Kentucky is at full strength.
UK Coach Billy Gillispie noted how Jodie Meeks has been practicing. Meeks played six minutes at Vanderbilt on Tuesday as he tries to recover from a strained hip flexor injury.
“He’s practicing like a guy that hasn’t been out there for a while,” Gillispie said. [Hear Gillispie’s Friday press conference.]
Meeks needs the practice time to return to full form. “You don’t get in shape in two days (of practice) and six minutes of a game,” the UK coach said.
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
bout damn time were a healthy team ready to whoop up on therest of the sec!
I think it’s funny Jerry that on your article about Crawford playing so well on defense, you put a picture of him fouling the freshman Preston Knowles. Of course there was probably no foul called on that play which would be typical in Rape Arena
well were not fully healthy anymore.
