Meanwhile, it sounds like the City Game is going to be put on hold for a season.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Pitt and Duquesne will most likely not play at PPG Paints Arena in 2019.
"The City Game with Duquesne is unlikely to happen this season, though the thought is it will be just a one-year hiatus."
