The Panthers (3-0) rarely allowed the Colonels (1-1) more than one shot on a possession, doubling them in rebounds most of the game before finishing with a 47-25 advantage.
Justin Stommes scored 24 for Eastern Kentucky, which played its first game against a major college opponent this season.
Pitt has won 41 in a row on its home court against non-conference opponents, two off the school record.
