Penn State a slight favorite vs. Furman in Charleston Classic

Penn State is a slight favorite against Furman in the Charleston Classic opener according to BetMGM

Penn State men’s basketball is on the road for the first time this season as they take part in this year’s Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic. The first matchup of the extended weekend down in South Carolina will be played Thursday morning against Furman from the Southern Conference.

According to the gameday odds from BetMGM, the Nittany Lions are listed as a 2.5-point favorite. Penn State’s hot start to the season with wins over Winthrop, Loyola, and Butler have been fueled by a mix of good defense and some hot three-point shooting.  Penn State could be in for a bit of a shootout in this one, however, because Furman is averaging just over 90 points per game in their first two games of the season as well.

Here is how to watch Penn State’s game vs. Furman and here is the full Charleston Classic schedule for the weekend.

Here is a look at the odds for Thursday’s Charleston Classic opener.
