LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Rick Pitino told
CBSSports.com that Louisville big man Gorgui Dieng will definitely play against Kentucky on Saturday after missing the past month with a broken wrist.
Dieng participated in full-contact practice on Wednesday for the first time since suffering a fracture in his wrist on November 23.
Pitino said that Dieng is in great shape, and while his defensive timing is a little off, he looks good offensively.
