The Penn State men’s basketball non-conference schedule (Intercollegiate Athletics) was released yesterday. Of greatest interest to me is that they are hosting the Maryland Terrapins in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on December 1. Hopefully, it won’t be a 9 p.m tip.

I work with a few Terps, so on the chance that the Nittany Lions pull the upset, I could have some fun. The complete non-conference schedule follows:

Friday, Nov. 12 vs. Lehigh

Tues., Nov. 16 vs. Saint Joseph’s

Fri., Nov. 19 vs. Fairfield

Mon., Nov. 22 vs. Central Connecticut State

Fri., Nov. 26 @ Mississippi

Sun., Nov. 28 vs. Furman

Wed., Dec. 1 vs. Maryland (ACC/Big Ten Challenge)

Sat., Dec. 4 vs. Duquesne

Tues., Dec. 7 vs. Mount St. Mary’s

Sun., Dec. 12 @ Virginia Tech

Wed., Dec. 22 vs. Maine

The Virginia Tech game is of interest too of course, but there are not any Hokies around the office any more.
