Penn State men’s basketball will compete in the 2024 Sunshine Slam in Daytona Beach alongside Clemson, San Francisco, and Fordham, per Jon Rothstein of College Hoops Today. The in-season tournament is the first schedule report for the Nittany Lions in the 2024-25 season.

Dates and matchups have yet to be set for the tournament, per Rothstein. Last year, the tournament consisted of eight teams and ran from November 11-21.

Penn State is entering the second year of head coach Mike Rhoades’ tenure at the program’s helm. The Nittany Lions finished last season with a 16-17 record and missed the NIT. Penn State competed in one in-season tournament, the ESPN Events Invitational in Kissimmee, Florida, and lost three games in succession to Texas A&M, Butler, and VCU.
