Pitt’s roster has turned into a M*A*S*H* unit

Doctor Pierce, please report to the O.R. immediately…Doctor Pierce to the O.R.
For a team that is 11-1 and ranked in the top 10, things aren’t looking very pretty for the Pittsburgh Panthers. In fact, their dreams of a deep run into the NCAA tournament have turned into a medical nightmare.
