Emphasis on bug.

Okay, something is going on with Pitt right now. Aaron Gray left with Pittsburgh on the flight after battling the flu says he vomited 13 times during the past 36 hours before feeling better.

Tyrell Biggs is no longer on crutches and says he’s ready to play. He just has a strained calf muscle.

Keith Benjamin, however, is still in Pittsburgh.

Benjamin became violently ill Tuesday night and did not travel with the team on their flight to Detroit last night. Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said Benjamin does not have the flu bug that junior center Aaron Gray had earlier in the week.

“It’s a different thing,” Dixon said. “We think Aaron just had the flu. [Keith] seemed to be all right yesterday. We’ll get more back from the doctors [today]. He was throwing up last night. He was pretty violently sick last night.”

Dixon was hopeful that Benjamin would be able to rejoin the team today. If the doctors released him, the plan was to have him fly out today. Dixon described Benjamin’s hospital stay as “precautionary.”

The timing is unbelievable.

Then there is the spectacle of Levon Kendall’s back spasms flaring.

Minimal injury issues all season, now guys are having trouble standing up or keeping anything down.
