On a scale of one to 10, Jeff Brooks rated his confidence level after Friday’s game at 13.
The junior forward joked throughout his post-game press conference, mocking Talor Battle as he responded to reporters’ questions and closed his own remarks by bidding “peace” to the group of journalists.
Brooks finished the game with 10 points, second-most on the team, and looked confident with the ball in his hands in Friday’s 70-55 win over Penn. It was Brooks’ fourth career double-digit scoring game.
The Louisville, Ky., native thinks he can step up to be the second scoring option for Penn State this season.
“Losing Mel (Jamelle Cornley) and Stanley (Pringle) and D-Mo (Danny Morrissey), somebody’s got to step up,” Brooks said. “Tonight, I guess I was just on. I just tried to come out in the second half more aggressive than I was in the first half. Some shots went down and the score went up so I must have been doing something right.”
