'City Game' between Pitt/Duquesne won't return in 2020 | |
PITTSBURGH (AP) The annual “City Game” between Pitt’s and Duquesne’s basketball teams will remain on hiatus for a second straight year. Duquesne announced Thursday that Pitt had backed out of a verbal agreement to renew the long-running series during the 2020-21 season. The game between the programs separated by just 3 miles in downtown Pittsburgh dates to 1932. The Panthers lead the series 55-32. The rivalry took a break last season, with Pitt citing a scheduling issue with the Atlantic Coast Conference moving from 18 to 20 conference games. Both schools said they were planning to play each other in the 2020-21 season at PPG Paints Arena, a neutral site located a couple of blocks from the Duquesne campus. MORE | |
