Another piece of the Penn State basketball team's non-conference schedule has come together. And it features a program that will be brand new to Division I in 2025-26. Penn State will face University of New Haven at the Hazell Center in West Haven, Conn., on Nov. 8. New Haven announced the matchup on social media Thursday afternoon, and Penn State later confirmed the matchup to Lions247. New Haven is entering its first season of Division I athletics.

PRESEASON TOP 25 Obviously, it's not how you start — it's how you finish. But there's a consensus about where Penn State should begin the 2025 season, and that consensus places them as one of the top teams in the country. In Athlon, the Nittany Lions slot in at No. 2 behind only Texas with No. 3 Ohio State, No. 4 Georgia and No. 5 Clemson rounding out the top five.

Penn State quarterbacks coach Danny O'Brien discussed summer work for Drew Allar and the rest of the Nittany Lions signal-callers. In the summer, the Penn State coaching staff cedes some control over its players because of NCAA regulations that limit how much the two can work together during the offseason. This time of year, the onus falls on the strength staff, led by Chuck Losey, and the players themselves to prioritize their work. For Nittany Lions quarterback Drew Allar, it's nothing new.

And the promotion comes after more than a decade of working his way up through the ranks. The Phoenix Suns hired Penn State alum Jordan Ott to be their next head coach, ESPN reported Wednesday, completing Ott's ascension through the NBA coaching ranks.

High expectations are a common theme among former Penn State players as they look toward the 2025 season. Jahan Dotson said last month that he expects the Nittany Lions to win a national championship. A couple weeks later, Keaton Ellis echoed that same sentiment. "National championship," Ellis told Lions247 in a phone interview last week when asked about his alma mater's outlook for 2025.
