It will be the teams’ only regular-season meeting of the year.
Last Thursday, team doctors cleared Fields, who has missed No. 22 Pitt’s last 12 games with a broken fifth metatarsal in his left foot, to play.
He participated in a team walkthrough before Pitt’s 55-54 win against West Virginia the same day he was cleared and did individual workouts over the weekend.
Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said that since the doctors cleared Fields, it’s been up to the 5-foor-10 junior to decide when he is ready to go.

Fields said he likely will see reduced playing time in his return, but won’t be focusing on that.
“I’ll be ready to play no matter how many minutes I get,” said Fields.
Dixon added, “There aren’t any rules in this.
