For the first time since 2012, WVU and Pitt will play each other in women's basketball in 2017. The two schools have been making an effort to play each other in more sports after the two left the Big East Conference.
The Backyard Brawl will renew on Thursday, December 7, 2017 at the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown. The last meeting between the two was a 60-42 WVU victory on February 27, 2012. The Mountaineers hold a 26-19 all-time advantage against the Panthers.
The 2018-2019 date has not been set, but it will be in Pitt’s Peterson Events Center.
