Briefly, here is the full Pitt schedule. TV times and stations will be added later (I assume).
Sorry about the strange link location. Trying to do this on my phone.

I suppose it is typical of the Big East. Only a couple days before the start of college football season… and it is time to release the Big East schedule for basketball.
The full schedule from Pitt will be released after 1pm.
The Big East and ESPN, though, have their TV schedule out.
Pitt has two Big Monday appearances this year. Bad news, both on the road. At Syracuse on January 16 and at WVU on January 30.
Coach Graham loves his hyperbole.
We’re going to put it in the left lane and put the hammer down. The way we take the field, call the plays, execute the plays, are all high tempo. Guys are going to play Pitt football with a lot of passion, very physical, and flying around. Fans will hear, see, and feel Pitt football.
He also knows how fans can react.
He is hopeful the Panthers get out of the gates fast Saturday against Buffalo and pleases the crowd, but he knows there is no guarantee that will happen.
His first game at Tulsa showed him how fast things can go wrong.
“The first snap of the game, we snapped the ball over the quarterback’s head, and they picked it up and ran it back 65 yards for a touchdown,” Graham said, with a laugh. “A guy stood up in the stands and said ‘High octane my … ,’ “
Considering that Turnley will be under center for the first game there could be a bit of deja vu.
