UNIVERSITY PARK -- The Penn State men's basketball team will get a head start on the 2024-25 season on Oct. 25 when the Nittany Lions face Lafayette in a charity exhibition game at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pa.
Tipoff is slated for 8 p.m. from Sorrentino Gymnasium, with all proceeds benefiting both Hope Within Ministries and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Head coach Mike Rhoades will return to his alma mater when the Nittany Lions square off against Lafayette. Rhoades led Lebanon Valley College to the 1994 NCAA Division III National Championship as the tournament's Co-Outstanding Player. He was the USA Today Division III National Player of the Year in 1995, a two-time NABC All-American, three-time NABC All-Region and three-time Middle Atlantic Conference Player of the Year. He was the school's all-time scoring leader (2,050). His No. 5 jersey is one of five basketball jerseys retired by LVC.
Tickets for the charity exhibition game will be $20 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 14, and can be purchased through either Penn State or LVC.
