This is apparently the latest on the possible Pitt-Duke game at Madison Square Garden (Insider subs):

Pitt is still trying to move three games, notably Dayton, so it can play Duke Dec. 20 in New York City. The Dayton game is scheduled for Dec. 22 in Dayton, which would mean Pitt would go from playing Duke in New York on Thursday to traveling Friday to Dayton to playing Saturday in Dayton. The chances of Pitt wanting to do that are zilch.

So basically, the game is still in the air until Pitt can get the other games shuffled. The other possible issue is the fact that the Big East will be playing 18 games plus Pitt has a February game at Washington. That means the rest of the non-con will have to be done in November and December. Very little wiggle room for make-up dates.

The December 20 game would likely be a main ESPN game. The only other competition for the WWLS would be the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego that night which I’m guessing wouldn’t start much before 9 pm Eastern.
