Pitt point guard Levance Fields said today that he would like to return to Pitt's "by Valentine's Day." If Fields' projection is true, his first game back would be Feb. 15 at Marquette.

The initial projected date of return was March 1. By moving up his timetable, Fields could play in the final seven regular-season games before the Big East tournament.

"If everything goes as planned I'll be back before you know it," Fields said.

Fields and Mike Cook spoke to reporters today for the first time since being injured in late December.
