The Pitt basketball program held a media session recently and while there wasn't any earth-shattering news to come out of it, there were a few things worth mentioning.
First, the team appears to be pretty healthy after dealing with all of the injuries over the summer. Nearly half the team, including James Robinson, Sterling Smith, Chris Jones, Cameron Johnson, Alonzo Nelson-Ododa, and the now-departed Josh Newkirk all were on the operating table this offseason. Rafael Maia also had several injuries to deal with and is the one guy according to head coach Jamie Dixon that isn't quite ready to go yet.
