The dates have yet to be determined, but Penn State’s men’s basketball Big Ten slate for year two of the Micah Shrewsberry-era and its women’s basketball Big Ten opponents for year four under Carolyn Kieger have been announced.
Penn State’s men’s team is slated to take on Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, Purdue, Rutgers and Wisconsin twice. Additionally, the team is scheduled to host Indiana, Iowa and Michigan State and play at Minnesota, Northwestern and Ohio State.
The women’s team has two games scheduled against Michigan State, Minnesota, Iowa, Purdue and Rutgers. The Iowa matchups should be particularly exciting, with two of the top scorers in the country from last season— Penn State Makenna Marisa and Iowa’s Caitlin Clark— returning to their respective schools.
Clark led the nation in both scoring, at 27 points per game, and assists, averaging eight per contest.
