The Penn State non-conference basketball schedule has arrived.

The Nittany Lions, who went 7-12 to finish 11th in the B1G last season, will open the season at home against Youngstown State on Nov. 10 and wrap up non-conference action on Dec. 29 against Delaware State. They’ll also play in the Emerald Coast Classic MTE Nov. 18-27 and host Miami as part of the B1G/ACC Challenge on Dec. 1.

After last year’s disappointing season, Penn State brought in Micah Shrewsberry as head coach. The Nittany Lions have seen quite a bit of roster turnover this offseason, so it’s unclear how they’ll perform in the first year under Shrewsberry.

Here’s Penn State’s full non-conference schedule:

Nov. 10 vs. Youngstown State
Nov. 15 vs. UMass
Nov. 18 vs. St. Francis Brooklyn*
Nov. 22 vs. Cornell*
Nov. 26 vs. LSU*
Nov. 27 vs. Oregon State or Wake Forest*
Dec. 1 vs. Miami**
Dec. 8 vs. Wagner
Dec. 18 at VCU
Dec. 22 vs. Quinnipac
Dec. 29 vs. Delaware State
