Pitt was supposed to try and play a game at Madison Square Garden on December 17. Unfortunately, no one was available of any name recognition/gate value/TV interest.
The addition of Pitt finalizes Siena’s 2008-09 nonconference schedule, expected to be the most difficult in school history.
In addition to playing Pitt, Siena will face defending national champion Kansas, Cornell, Boise State, Buffalo, the University at Albany and Saint Joseph’s.
The Saints are in the MAAC. Not quite a BCS quality opponent. Man does Pitt need something else for the non-con home slate.
