The Big East has announced the 2008-09 league opponents and game sites for West Virginia as well as the conference's other men's basketball teams.
West Virginia will play home games against Connecticut, DePaul, Louisville, Notre Dame, Pitt, Providence, St. John's, South Florida and Villanova. WVU will play road games at Cincinnati, Georgetown, Louisville, Marquette, Pitt, Rutgers, Seton Hall, USF and Syracuse.
The Big East will begin its second season featuring an 18-game league schedule. The 18-game format allows teams to play each opponent once and three teams twice.
"Top to bottom, I think the Big East will be loaded this season,'' said Mountaineer coach Bob Huggins via a release. "There are a number of quality players returning on each team."
"We always look forward to the Big East schedule and the competition it brings. We have a bunch of guys who have played Big East basketball and know its style of play. We believe our non-conference schedule will give us enough balance.''
The decisions regarding repeat opponents are based on rivalries, television contract obligations, geography and natural interest. West Virginia's repeat opponents for this season are Louisville, Pitt and South Florida.
All 144 regular-season Big East conference games will again be televised, either by CBS Sports, the ESPN family of networks or ESPN Regional Television.
The full 2008-09 conference schedule, including that of WVU, will be announced at a later date.
