Putting the incident aside, getting Dior back would be a huge boost for the Panthers’ backcourt, as they look to continue their 5 game win streak tonight @ Vanderbilt.
I expect a plea deal to be reached with Dior Johnson by week’s end and his charges to be “resolved.”
It comes down to the Pitt review board and if they deem him deserving of an approval to return. We’ll see if there’s any urgency from the board to meet if things get resolved.
We should be finding out more information about whether Dior Johnson will put on a Pitt jersey this season or not on Wednesday, as is trial date is set for 12/7.
Pitt gets blown out by Michigan 91-60. Just another embarrassing performance, not much else to say. It’s not as if this team doesn’t have the pieces to be better than they are either. Incoherence on all levels for the Panthers.
Pitt trails 38-32 at the half. Panthers are still in the ballgame, but faded late in the first half after an early 15-11 lead. Just too many unforced errors in the first. Burton leads Pitt with 8 points, Elliott adding 7.
