The Pitt men’s basketball team tonight tips off against a formidable Kansas State team tonight at 6 p.m. as part of the Fort Myers Tip-Off in Fort Myers, Fla. The neutral-site game, which will be played at Suncoast Credit Union Arena, gives Pitt their third shot against a high-major program in this early season, having beaten Florida State and lost to West Virginia in the past few weeks.

Pitt (4-2) enters today’s matchup riding their first winning streak of the season, coming off of two home wins against Monmouth and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. This is just Pitt’s second game away from home of the season so far, having beaten Robert Morris in Moon Township, Pa. two weeks ago. As such, this game will actually be Pitt’s first true game away from home, as they didn’t have to leave Allegheny county to face Robert Morris.

The Kansas State Wildcats (4-0) enters Monday night’s contest as one of just 43 remaining perfect teams in the 2019-20 Division-I college basketball campaign. Kansas State has played one road game so far, a 60-56 win over UNLV on Nov. 9. Pitt will hope to dash their perfect record tonight for a chance to play in the Fort Myers Tip-Off finale on Wednesday.
