When will Micah Shrewsberry coach his first game for Penn State basketball?
The dawning of a new era for a sports team is always an exciting time. Penn State mens basketball is once again preparing to start a new regime with new head coach Micah Shrewsberry, and we may now know just when that new era will officially tip off. According to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, Penn State will begin their 2021-22 season on November 10 with a home against the Youngstown State Penguins. Rothstein reported the schedule update on Twitter earlier on Wednesday. Source: Penn State will open the Micah Shrewsberry era on November 10th in State College against Youngstown State.  Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) June 23, 2021  Shrewsberry was hired to be the head coach of the Penn State basketball program shortly after the conclusion of the 2020-21 regular season. The former Purdue assistant has been busy this offseason assembling a coaching and basketball staff as well as working to make sales pitches to recruiting targets both in high school and in the transfer portal. Penn State has faced Youngstown State on the basketball court just once before. The Nittany Lions won the only matchup in the series on Nov. 23, 2011 by a score of 82-71. Tim Frazier paced the Nittany Lions to the win behind a game-high 26 points. The Big Ten previously announced home and away matchups for each Big Ten member, including Penn State.
