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.
The injury-depleted Panthers suffered another major setback on Saturday night when junior guard Levance Fields broke a bone in his left foot. Doctors indicated that Fields will require surgery that will keep him out of action for 8-12 weeks, which basically means the Panthers will be lucky to have Fields back by the time March Madness rolls around.
Combine Fields injury with Mike Cook’s season-ending knee injury and Austin Wallace’s fractured patella, Pitt has 9 healthy scholarship players left on the roster.
Jerome Lane - will you please pick up the white courtesy phone. Paging Jerome Lane to the white courtesy phone, please…
The effects of these injuries is starting to take its toll on the Panthers, who were drubbed 80-55 by Dayton on Saturday, and they could get worse as the Panthers gear up for the tough Big East conference schedule.
Everybody who had Pitt penciled in for a trip to the Final Four should get their Pink Pearl erasers out and remove Pitt from their brackets.
Alas, poor Pittsburgh, we hardly knew ye…
