Syracuse, N.Y. - Bourama Sidibe, Syracuse's 6-foot-10 freshman basketball center, said Thursday night he hasn't yet practiced "full strength" since injuring his ankle, but "it's feeling good right now" and he expects to play on Saturday.
Syracuse faces old Big East rival Georgetown at 12:30 Saturday in the Verizon Center. Sidibe missed SU's last game when the Orange defeated Colgate in the Carrier Dome. He has battled soreness and swelling since injuring his right ankle during the Kansas game on Dec. 2. He said he's unsure how it happened, but afterward, the ankle swelled and prevented him from moving the way he knows he can move.
