PITTSBURGH — The date for the 2024 men’s basketball Backyard Brawl has been announced.

Pitt will host West Virginia on Nov. 15 at the Petersen Events Center.

This will be Jeff Capel and his Panthers’ first time facing the Mountaineers since WVU hired its latest men’s basketball coach, Darian DeVries.

Pitt walloped WVU 80-63 in 2023, playing against an interim coach and abbreviated roster. It was their first win over the Mountaineers in more than a decade.

West Virginia leads the series 103-89.
