Penn State men's basketball will host Chattanooga on Friday as the Nittany Lions' second and final tune-up before a highly anticipated matchup against in-state rival Pittsburgh. The game follows Penn State's season-opening victory over Canisius on November 2, where forward Roko Prkacin, wearing number 8, provided a highlight-reel dunk. Head coach Mike Rhoades will use the Chattanooga contest to further evaluate rotation options and defensive schemes ahead of the Pitt game, which carries significant regional bragging rights. The Nittany Lions are looking to build momentum early in the 2026-27 campaign after a solid opening performance.
