Penn State Basketball tips off its season, and the Micah Shrewsberry era, Wednesday night against Youngstown State at the Bryce Jordan Center
Penn State Basketball, led by head coach Micah Shrewsberry, and returning starters Seth Lunday and John Harrar, take on the Missouri Valley Conference Youngstown State Penguins Wednesday, November 10th (11/10/2021) at 8:30 pm in the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Pennsylvania at 8:30 pm on the Big Ten Network (BTN).
The Nittany Lions had a tumultuous off-season, with the release of Interim Heach Coach Jim Ferry (after firing Pat Chambers) and the hiring of first-time head coach, Micah Shrewsberry. Shrewsberry was active in the transfer portal, trying to make up for the losses of Myreon Jones (to Florida), Izaiah Brockington (to Iowa State) and the most painful, Jamari Wheeler (to Ohio State).

Penn State vs Youngstown State Prediction
College Basketball is an odd sport, but there’s no way the Lions can afford a home opener loss vs the overmatched Penguins. This is the first game of the new era, and with increased ticket sales this year, the Nittany Lions can’t afford to stub their feet, even with the key injuries.
Prediction: Penn State 81, Youngstown State 66
