Live from the Honda Center

Anaheim, Calif. -- Just a quick update from the Kentucky side of things.
Coach Billy Gillispie said in his news conference that it's "very, very doubtful" that guard Jodie Meeks (hip flexor) will play on Thursday against MU.
Judging by the way Meeks was moving around during the Wildcats' open practice, Gillispie wasn't trying to be cute. Meeks did nothing other than shoot three-pointers, really, and was moving very gingerly. When he ran -- which wasn't often -- it was with a noticeable hitch in his gait.
So, I guess that's one less guy the Golden Eagles will have to worry about.
MU's news conference and open practice session are up next. I'll have another update later today/tonight.

Thanks, Todd. Appreciate your updates. Sounds like Meeks would only be used in very selected situations -- game on the line, need a 3-pointer kind of thing.
Let's clamp down on their other shooters (guards) and win this one going away!
