Derek Willis is close to playing again

This could be some good news for Big Blue Nation.

Derek Willis has missed a few games due to a pretty nasty ankle sprain and Kentucky has not looked the same. The Wildcats lost to Texas A&M and Vanderbilt. They have games against Florida and LSU remaining on the schedule, but it doesn't like Willis will be back for the Gator game.

As long as UK gets its best floor spacer back for the postseason it should be fine and this should also serve as a reminder of just how important Willis is to the team.
