The Nittany Lions will take a seven-day foreign trip to the Bahamas this August 
: Penn State’s exhibition opponents will be announced at a later date.
“This valuable time to work and play together during a foreign trip will help us as we move into our first season together,” Rhoades said in a release. “The trip will allow us practice time prior to our departure and game experience that can set the tone as we move forward. We have many new players with a brand-new staff and the time together will hopefully create bonds and relationships that we will value very much.”
NCAA basketball teams have the ability to travel on a foreign tour to play exhibition games every four years. Most recently, the Nittany Lions toured the Bahamas and played in two exhibition matches in 2017. Before that, Pat Chambers and Co. jet set to Belgium, France, and England in 2013.
