Pitt is still trying to find a team to play at Madison Square Garden on December 17. How does Memphis sound? Levance Fields thinks that will be the team.
“They’re trying to work a game against Memphis in the Garden, like we played Duke last year,†he said. “So hopefully that works out.â€
I think that would fit the bill. Of course, that is hardly conclusive at this point.
We knew Pitt was working to get a marquee game at the Garden once bumped from the Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament.
Memphis would be a fantastic opponent. It makes sense for them as well, since Calipari likes to play at least one game each year in the NY/NJ area for recruiting. The storylines might grate a bit, but the game would be worth it.
It doesn’t sound any crazier than the stories that were floated a couple years back that Pitt and WVU might play two football games in the same season.
