Penn State to Compete Against Memphis in 2026 Battle 4 Atlantis

Penn State men's basketball is scheduled to compete against Memphis in the opening round of the 2026 Battle 4 Atlantis on November 25, as announced by the tournament organizers.

The Tigers currently lead the series with a 3-2 record against the Nittany Lions. Last season, Penn State struggled with a 12-20 record, finishing 3-17 in conference play and ranked No. 139 in the KenPom rankings. Memphis also faced challenges, ending their season at 13-19 and ranking No. 133.

This matchup will provide Penn State with a significant test, although they will not face higher-ranked teams such as Virginia, Texas A&M, or Marquette in the tournament.
