On Monday, the 2024-25 college basketball season will officially tip off, and all three local Division One teams will be playing.
Pitt’s men’s team will be hosting Big South opponent Radford in its season-opener at 7 p.m. at the Petersen Events Center. The Duquesne men will host Lipscomb at 8 p.m. at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse. Andy Toole’s Robert Morris Colonials will travel to Morgantown to play West Virginia at 7 p.m.
On the women’s side, Dan Burt’s Duquesne Dukes will be the only women’s Division One team in action on Monday, hosting the Princeton Tigers at 5 p.m. ahead of the men’s competition.
Burt led Duquesne to a 21-13 record last season, going 13-5 in A10 play. The Dukes are looking to return to the NCAA Tournament this season for the first time since the 2015-16 campaign. Burt is fresh off of a contract extension that he signed this summer, and is heading into the year with star guard Megan McConnell and company ready to make some noise in the Atlantic 10.
Check out Zac Weiss’s preview of the Duquesne women’s team here.
