FYI: Back-up guard Khari Price (thigh) has played the last two games after missing the previous six, but he still hasn't participated in full-contact drills since his injury. Starting guard Vee Sanford has been nursing an ankle sprain the last two games. He's been held out of practice and wears a protective boot.
“Sometimes added rest will help, but for Vee to have a chance to play (tonight), he can’t do anything. I worry about him with his rhythm,” UD coach Archie Miller said.
