Roy Williams said his team’s preparation is “100 percent" to play without Kendall Marshall, who underwent surgery Monday to insert a screw into his broken right wrist.

"If he comes running in here now and says, 'God, I can play!' I'll say, 'Well, let's talk about it,'" said Williams, frustrated with the continued questioning about the nation's assist leader. "But he's in a frickin' cast. ... I cannot give you any answers. I've given everybody all the answers I can give, because I have said honestly, 'I do not know.'"

Williams intends to employ little-used freshman Stilman White and versatile senior Justin Watts as ball handlers.
