We are only a month into the college football season but the start of the new college basketball season will be approaching before you know it. Penn State is working to finalize some details for its upcoming men’s and women’s basketball seasons with hopes of each making an appearance in the NCAA tournaments next March. One of the highlights of the regular season has been when the teams leave the Bryce Jordan Center and return to their old gym for a game. Penn State announced the Nittany Lions and Lady Lions will each be playing a Big Ten game this season in storied Rec Hall this season.
Penn State’s men’s basketball team will host Ohio State in Rec Hall on January 30, 2025. The women’s team will host Maryland the day before on January 29, 2025.

This will be the second straight season the Penn State men’s team will play a game in Rec Hall, both coming against a Big Ten opponent. Penn State upset Illinois in last year’s game in Rec Hall. This will mark the fifth time Penn State will play in Rec Hall since moving to the Bryce Jordan Center.
The Lady Lions will be playing just their second game in Rec Hall since moving to the Bryce Jordan Center. The team made its long-awaited return to Rec Hall for a game last season against Ohio State.
Penn State will open its men’s basketball season against Binghamton on November 4. The women’s basketball season will open on the same day at home against Bucknell.
