Villanova forward Mouphtaou Yarou is ready to play after being sidelined for several weeks with hepatitis B. The 6-foot-10 freshman practiced Thursday after he was cleared by doctors. Yarou started the first two games but was sidelined before a November tournament in Puerto Rico. Coach Jay Wright says he will evaluate Yarou in practice before deciding if he can play in games.
