Penn State men’s basketball continues their home schedule Monday evening in the second game of the Emerald Coast Classic. The Nittany Lions host Cornell before the early-season tournament shifts to Florida after Thanksgiving later this week, and Penn State is hoping to remain undefeated at home in the Bryce Jordan Center. And according to the line for the game on Monday, it appears Penn State is expected to do just that.
According to Tipico, Penn State is 15.5-point favorite against the Big Red on Monday. The moneyline is even more heavily weighted in Penn State’s favor, as you might expect given the wide point spread on the game.
Cornell is coming into the game with a 4-0 record, including a massive blowout of a Division 3 Wells College Express in their last game. Penn State will be the best opponent the Ivy League school has faced so far. The only loss suffered by Penn State so far came in its second game of the season, at UMass. Penn State won its opening game in the Emerald Coast Classic at home against Saint Francis Brooklyn last week.
