Pitt's 2026-27 Non-Conference Preview | Pitt Basketball News

Pitt’s 2026-27 hoops season kicks off with a bang—hosting Rider, a MAAC squad that went 4-28 last year. But don’t sleep on this schedule: after Rider, they’ll face Buffalo, Penn State in Philly, and a road trip to Butler, then battle Villanova, Central Michigan, and two Florida showdowns against Oklahoma and DePaul. The non-conference crescendo includes marquee matchups: Missouri, West Virginia, and Drexel, Georgia State, and Cleveland State. It’s a balanced, competitive slate designed to build momentum early—and prove they’re ready for conference play. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
