Chocolate is sweet, but so is a classic in-state rivalry that dates back to 1906.

Just four days before Christmas, Penn State will go toe-to-toe with Pittsburgh at the GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The two schools are less than two-and-a-half hours apart but rarely face off, as the last meeting between them was back in 2017 when the Nittany Lions won the battle of the big cats, beating the Panthers 85-54 in Brooklyn as a part of the Legends Classic.

The Hershey Company was founded in 1894, making it 131 years old, and the historic host is fit for the battle of the Commonwealth.
