Opening night in the 2022 Gavitt Tipoff Games features a doubleheader between schools from the Big Ten and Big East, and Penn State is set to host the second game of Monday’s doubleheader. Penn State will host Butler, a program that once had Nittany Lions head coach Micah Shrewsberry as an assistant coach. It will be the first time in decades that Penn State and Butler will tip off against one another, with the last meeting coming before Penn State joined the Big Ten.
Yeah, it’s been a while.
Penn State is off to a nice 2-0 start at home this season following decisive victories against Winthrop and Loyola to start the year with plenty of three-pointers and defense leading the way. Penn State will need to keep that going as Butler comes in as the most well-rounded opponent so far this early in the season.
Here is how to catch Monday night’s Gavitt Tipoff Games matchup between the Nittany Lions and the Bulldogs.
