While Pitt isn’t officially commenting, the Big East has confirmed the Pitt-Duke game at Madison Square Garden.
Pitt is scheduled to play the Blue Devils on Dec. 20 at Madison Square Garden in a nationally televised men’s basketball game.
“It’s happening,” Big East associate commissioner Tom Odjakjian said. “That’s been confirmed.”
Duke had a standing deal with ESPN for a game at MSG on that day. Thankfully, Pitt was able to make it work.
Non-con known now includes Duke, St. Louis, at Dayton, at Washington, Oklahoma St., Duquesne, Buffalo, Lafayette, Houston Baptist and NC A&T. With 18 Big East games, that brings the schedule to 29 games. That means maybe one more game on the non-con that we don’t know at this point. Nice.
Duke actually had a standing deal with ESPN for a game on Dec 22 but I imagine that they will still air the game.

Anyone know how to get tickets for such a game? I’ve never tried to purchase tickets for an away/neutral site game. Will they be available soon, or not until closer to the start of the season?

Probably not till closer to the start of the season. I went to see Pitt vs. Memphis a few years back a the Garden and they didn’t go on sale until Oct-Nov I think.

Pitt is playing in the Maggie Dixon Classic in MSG, so whatever team(s) they play there is probably it for the non-con schedule.
