Penn State begins a new era of college basketball on Monday evening. [autotag]Mike Rhoades[/autotag] will officially coach his first game as the head coach of the Nittany Lions after guiding the men’s basketball team to a 3-0 record in offseason exhibition games. After winning two games in the Bahamas against international competition and a charity exhibition game against Robert Morris in a preseason tune-up, the games are about to count for something.
Penn State hosts Delaware State in the Bryce Jordan Center on Monday evening to get the new era started. Transfer guard [autotag]Ace Baldwin Jr.[/autotag] should have an instant impact on the floor and the return of [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag] will give Penn State a fun combo to watch grow together on the court this season.
Delaware State won an exhibition game against Cabrini College, 101-58. The Hornets are coming off a rough 6-24 season last year and are hoping to get off to a better start. Penn State is 4-0 all-time against Delaware State. That includes a 60-49 victory in State College last December.
