Michigan State, Penn State to play at Palestra

The Michigan State men’s basketball team will play Penn State at Palestra, the historic home of the University of Pennsylvania men’s and women’s basketball teams, this season, according to multiple reports.

Mlive.com was the first to report the matchup.

The venue has 8,725 seats and is marking its 90th anniversary. A date has not been confirmed for the Big Ten encounter.

Last season, Penn State met Michigan at Madison Square Garden for a home game, which the Wolverines won 79-72. The Nittany Lions have played several times at the Philadelphia institution, most recently against Drexel last December.
