Fields Returns

Filed under: Basketball,Injury,Players — Chas @ 12:11 am

Fields returns.

Fields returns.

“I’m looking forward to playing on Friday as long as the foot feels good,” Fields said last night after Pitt’s light workout at the Petersen Events Center. “Everything is going as planned.”

When asked later about how confident he was in playing, Field said: “I know I’m going to play.”

Fields returns.

Levance Fields wasn’t smiling when he said it, but everyone could tell he was content inside.

“I’m going to play,” he said. “You probably can’t tell by this face, but I’m real energetic. When Friday gets here, I will be extra excited.”

Sensing a theme?





thank you jebus

Great to have him back but let’s not expect the world in the first game as fans or the team. If he is in the flow of the game, keep him out there. If he is rusty, just play him a couple minutes – this team can be win without him playing every minute.

The one thing I hope DOESN’T happen is for when Fields is on the floor, the rest of the team plays like they’re in awe of him, like he’s a scoring machine.

You see this in the NBA from time to time. If a player like Kobe Bryant is out with an injury, the rest of the team steps it up, and can still win. Yet when Bryant returns, the rest of the team scores 12 points, and Kobe scores 50.

We HAVE to win either tonight or against ND. We NEED a big road win. No one, especially the players should expect a big stats night like Colt said, but him stepping on the court will be a HUGE motivation to everyone else. The general is back baby. And I guarantee you’re gonna see Ramon hit about 3-6 3’s tonight. His confidence is as high as it’s ever been. I’m fired up!

Can’t wait to see what this team can do now…

The only problem I see is what is going to happen to Benji…he seems to play better when he is a starter and has free reign to play…Will Dixon let him play away or will he have a quick hook on him again…and Wannamaker is starting to play his way into game shape, what is this going to do to his confidence…Pitt needs more from the bench, I say bring Fields off the bench for the first 2 games

I would be very surprised if Fields starts…In fact, I would be surprised if he sees more than 4 – 5 minutes per half. His presence in uniform will lift the teams spririts. The goal has to be to get him back into game shape by the end of the regular season. His minutes add depth to our roster and will make the whole team that much better for our tournament runs.
