Penn State men's basketball started 2025 undefeated through its first five games, and despite rocky moments, the trend continued into the second set of games.

The Nittany Lions faced lower-tier non-conference opponents in the season so far, and star performances have highlighted it in those games. Head coach Mike Rhoades' squad will look to build on this momentum as Big Ten play looms.
