Penn State men's basketball opens NIT Season Tip-Off play against Ole Miss

After narrowly escaping its first defeat of the season against Yale Saturday, Penn State will face its first Power 5 opponent of the season when it takes on Ole Miss on Wednesday.

The Nittany Lions, who are 5-0 for the second time under Pat Chambers, will take on a Rebels squad which is coming off its first loss, a one-point defeat to No. 16 Memphis. First tip will be at 5 p.m. at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

An experienced team coming off its ninth NCAA Tournament last season, Ole Miss has gone 4-1 on the young season with each victory coming by at least 13 points.
