The Big Ten on Wednesday released tipoff times and television designations for Penn State men’s basketball’s 2024-25 season.
Penn State will appear on the Big Ten Network 16 times, FS1 three times and CBS Sports Network twice. Seven Nittany Lion games will be streamed on Peacock and two will be streamed on B1G+. All games televised on Big Ten Network and FS1 will also be streamed on the Fox Sports app.
Broadcast arrangements for one game — the Nittany Lions’ matchup with Drexel on Dec. 21 at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center — are still to be announced. Penn State’s Oct. 25 exhibition game against Lafayette at Lebanon Valley College will not be televised or streamed.
Penn State returns much of the core from last year’s team that finished 16-17 in head coach Mike Rhoades’ first year at the helm of the program. The Nittany Lions will be led by Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and preseason all-conference selection Ace Baldwin Jr., who will be joined by fellow returnees D’Marco Dunn, Nick Kern Jr., Zach Hicks and Puff Johnson. The Nittany Lions also added four transfers and five freshmen, including two four-star recruits.
