I had heard rumblings that George Mason transfer Luke Hancock's shoulder injury was still a legitimate concern, so I reached out to Pitino to try and find out whether Hancock had suffered a setback.

Pitino addressed the Hancock injury and was, as usual, entertaining and informative. Here's some of the highlights -- including some high praise for Chane Behanan:

-- We'll start with Hancock, even though the Behanan comments were why I wound up writing this entry.
"He'll be ready to play in about two weeks," Pitino said.
Hancock, who sat out last season after transferring in from George Mason, had shoulder surgery in May. He has had issues with both shoulders. Pitino said he'd rather go with Hancock as Peyton Siva's backup.
