Booker: 'I'm Straight'

NCAA BASKETBALL: NOV 20 2K Sports Classic - Southern Illinois v Duke
Freshman forward Anthony Booker participated in all practice drills Tuesday and said he is ready to play in Wednesday night's game in Terre Haute, Ind., against Indiana State.

Booker suffered a bruised right knee in Sunday's 68-62 win against Bradley. The reserve forward returned to the game after the injury, but re-aggravated it after a defensive rebound.

When I approached SIU head coach Chris Lowery after practice, he responded with a quick "He practiced. He's gonna go."

Keeping the 6-foot-8-inch forward could be important to a team that already has a shortened bench.
