Report: Penn State Hoops To Play Providence In November Neutral Site Game
Penn State men’s basketball will play Providence in November in a neutral site game, according to Jon Rothstein.
While an official date is still to be determined, the game is set to be played at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The Nittany Lions and Friars have faced off three times in program history, with Penn State holding a 2-1 record. The most recent matchup came in 2012, when the blue and white won 55-52 in overtime.
Mike Rhoades will return to the helm for his third year as the head coach, but will be without graduating seniors Ace Baldwin Jr., Nick Kern Jr., Puff Johnson, Zach Hicks, and D’Marco Dunn. The Nittany Lions also lost three freshmen to the transfer portal, but will bring in three new freshmen through the 2025 recruiting cycle.
The last time Penn State played at Mohegan Sun Arena was in November of 2016, where it lost to Duke and Cincinnati in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament.
