Looks like we know how Pitt will be starting the season this year. Hosting the Hispanic College Fund Classic. Last year, it was held at UConn. There’s no announcement by Pitt, but St. Louis has released their non-con schedule to give us the info.
The Majerus era begins as the Billikens open the regular season playing in the “Hispanic College Fund Classic” an exempted tournament hosted by Pittsburgh. The Billikens face North Carolina A&T on Fri., Nov. 9, and Houston Baptist, which was 22-7 and is making the transition to Division I, on Sat., Nov. 10. SLU closes out the tournament on Sun., Nov. 11, against the host Panthers, who are coming off a 29-8 record.
So, now we know three more teams Pitt will have on its non-con St. Louis (making it 3 A-10 teams played this coming season) and NC A&T and Houston Baptist as part of the cream-puff portion.
