Pittsburgh Getting Players Back: Noah Collier, Nike Sibande and John Hugley all return for the Panthers. They had been out due to contact tracing and missed the previous matchup with Syracuse. None are starters, but each was part of the rotation. Hugley may be the one that impacts the game the most, as he is another big body at 6-9, 240 pounds. Pittsburgh's best player, Justin Champagnie (17.8 points, 12.3 rebounds per game), is still out with an injury.
