Penn State vs. Furman men’s basketball: TV and stream info for Charleston Classic
Penn State has been successful at home to start the season, but Micah Shrewsberry takes his program on the road for the first time this season to participate in the 2022 Shriners Children’s Charleston Classic this weekend in Charleston, South Carolina. Penn State hopes to add a few good quality wins to their collection of wins as Penn State will be put to the test away from the Bryce Jordan Center all weekend.
Penn State will play in the first game of this extended weekend’s tournament when they tip off against the Furman Paladins of the Southern Conference. Furman is 2-0 to start their season with wins over North Greenville and Belmont. Furman guard Mike Bothwell is coming off a 25-point game in the win over Belmont, so Penn State’s defense knows they have a challenge to deal with to start the weekend tournament.
Here is how to catch the game on TV or live stream in case you can’t be home to catch all of the action during the day. You can also find our link to the full Charleston Classic schedule down below so you can have an idea of when Penn State will be playing on Friday and Sunday as well.

ESPN BPI outlook
Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports
While Penn State will be a favorite in their first game in the Charleston Classic, the Nittany Lions could be in for a bit of a battle against Furman. ESPN’s Basketball Power Index does give Penn State the edge with a 56.9% chance of winning. It is the lowest percentage to win Penn State has had this early in the season. The BPI does predict a bit of a higher scoring game than Penn State played against Butler as Furman is averaging 90 points per game and Penn State scored 90 twice in their first three games.
Penn State three-point shooting is thriving
Matthew OHaren-USA TODAY Sports
Penn State has been on fire from three-point land to start the season. The Nittany Lions set a program record for the most three-pointers made in a single game in the season opener against Winthrop, and the three-point shooting remained hot in the second game of the year against Loyola.
Earlier this week against Butler, Penn State didn’t hit quite as many three-pointers but Penn State still connected on 10 of them. If Penn State continues to stay hot form behind the arc, they could be turning in some fun results this weekend.
