Q: What is the status of injuries? Levance Fields can't be 100% as he had five turnovers, shot 3 for 10 from the field and played poor defense. What is the outlook?

FITTIPALDO: Pitt coach Jamie Dixon reported Sunday night that Fields, who has a groin injury, did not practice with the team earlier that day. He mentioned that Fields did not feel great in the West Virginia game. It is an injury he is still working through. Fields does not sit out practice unless there is a reason, so he is not quite yet comfortable with the way he is feeling.

It's a little bit of a concern at this point, but the extra rest Fields is getting this week will be beneficial for him. By the time game time comes on Friday Fields will be on the court. He is a senior and he's not going to miss the NCAA tournament for any reason.
