DAYTON, Ohio — Ahead of Pitt’s first four basketball game in the NCAA Tournament on Tuesday night, Pitt head coach Jeff Capel announced that the Panthers’ starting big man Federiko Federiko will be a game-time decision for the game due to a knee injury.
“He’ll be a game-time decision if he’ll play,” Capel said on Monday. “He’s still nursing that knee. He hurt it against Georgia Tech, he tried to play against Duke the next day. We didn’t like the way that he was moving, which is why we held him once we got down. So he’ll be a game-time decision.”
Federiko suffered a knee injury against Georgia Tech in the opening game of the ACC Tournament last week. He played 26 minutes in that game, going 7 for 7 from the field and scoring 19 points.
