I was unable to add the link but this is what Cal said in a nutshell.

quote:
None of the three practiced [Monday],” Calipari said. “Our practice was a film session. We have [Tuesday] and Wednesday’s practice. They’re going to have to start practicing…You don’t just, ‘Okay, I’m ready for Friday.’ You’re going to have to get on the floor at some point and we’ll see. I can’t tell you.”

Sounds like the Cats may be going again without Wheeler for sure, CJ is a maybe and he may not be able to give significant minutes and Wallace is up in the air….This doesn’t sound good for the Cats.

I agree, this doesn’t sound good.

let's take our ball and go home. Let's hope Cal doesn't have the same bad luck with the next class of 5 stars. Maybe 4 stars wouldn't get hurt as easily. Have we got a couple of intramural guys that could halp us? [Confused]

Nah. Give me the same effort from the same guys that just beat Arkansas, and we'll sail at least to the finals of the SEC.

Hopefully, we get our guards healthy again by the time the NCAA rolls around. But until then, let our big guys show thier stuff. [Smile]

Problem right now is, when you are thin on the bench you tend to get tired by the end of the 2nd game in 2 days.

And we all know we won't be able to shoot like we did against Ark in 3 games in the SEC tourney. I'm afraid our luck will run out before we play 3 games.

This came out of twitter which I am not on. No idea how accurate it is but it sounds better than previously reported.

's show this morning: Think there's a very good chance Cason Wallace plays this week. At least some chance that Sahvir Wheeler does.

Barring new injuries (and with CJ Fredrick managing pain), Kentucky likely full strength(ish) for the NCAA Tournament.

I'll believe it when I see their sneakers on the hardwood. I was starting to think that wheeler would start appearing on the playground courts soon. [Big Grin]
