Penn State is looking for improvement in conference play this winter

Despite losing a good amount of talent to the transfer portal, graduation, and more, Mike Rhoades has been doing a good job of replenishing the Penn State basketball roster. A season ago, the Nittany Lions had an incredible year, going 23-14 all said and done and making the Round of 32 in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2001. That being said, Micah Shrewsberry’s squad struggled quite a bit in Big Ten play, going 10-10 overall despite a solid start at the beginning of the year. Now, the Nittany Lions will be looking to improve their conference record and make a push for the Big Ten Championship, which they fell just short of winning during last year’s Big Ten Tournament.
