The Big East Conference announced league opponents and game sites for the 2010-11 University of Pittsburgh men’s basketball season on Thursday.
For the fourth consecutive year since 2007-08, Pitt will play an 18-game conference regular season schedule, facing each of the 15 league opponents at least one time during the year. Additionally, Pitt will play three of those schools two times apiece.
All 144 regular season conference games will again be televised, either by CBS Sports, the ESPN family of networks or ESPN Regional Television. The decisions regarding opponents are based on natural interest, geography, rivalries, television contractual obligations and competitive balance.
Pitt will play nine home games and nine away contests during league regular season competition. Home opponents at the Petersen Events Center will include Cincinnati, Connecticut, Marquette, Notre Dame, Seton Hall, South Florida, Syracuse, Villanova and West Virginia.
The Panthers’ 2010-11 road opponents include DePaul, Georgetown, Louisville, Providence, Rutgers, St. John’s, South Florida, Villanova and West Virginia.
Pitt’s three repeat opponents are South Florida, Villanova and West Virginia.
The Big East Championship is scheduled for March 8-12 at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
