Penn State men’s basketball is off to a 3-0 start this season to kickstart the Mike Rhoades era in State College. On Friday night, the Nittany Lions look to go 4-0 before heading down to Orlando for a tournament with some big potential matchups next week. Penn State will host Morehead State in the Bryce Jordan Center Friday night.
Morehead State is off to a 2-2 start this season with both losses coming against top 25 opponents. Morehead State opened the year with a 32-point loss at Alabama and was defeated by 30 points at Purdue a week ago. The Eagles are coming off a win against Mercer earlier this week. Drew Thelwell scored 26 points in the win on Tuesday night.
This will be the second meeting all-time between the two schools. Penn State won the only other meeting in 2006. Penn State is also 4-0 all-time against teams from the Ohio Valley Conference.
