Penn State basketball is a favorite on the road against UMass

Penn State men’s basketball is listed as a favorite on the road Monday night at UMass according to Tipico

Penn State’s men’s basketball program is on the road for the first time this season on Monday night. Penn State is looking to go 2-0 to start the Micah Shrewsberry era with a win against former Atlantic-10 foe Massachusetts, and the odds are leaning in Penn State’s favor on the road.

According to Tipico, Penn State is a 4.5-point favorite on the road against UMass. Penn State opened the 2021-22 season with a 75-59 victory over Youngstown State at home, but they failed to cover with a late Youngstown State score to cover a 17.5-point spread. It can be difficult to base any early betting opinions off just one game in a college basketball season, but the Nittany Lions do look like a team to have some confidence in with this particular matchup.
