UNIVERSITY PARK — Talor Battle hates to lose, even if it’s to his own teammates.
But Penn State’s point guard couldn’t lead the White squad over the Blue during an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday for fans in the Bryce Jordan Center.
Behind some long-range shooting from Chris Babb and Jermaine Marshall, Blue won 29-21 during a short scrimmage that came at the end of a spirited practice.
“We only lost like once during practice,” said Battle, fighting a smile and pointing out that he sat out the last four minutes to rest a minor ankle injury. “That’s the end, they can have that.”
Several hundred fans got their first look at Nittany Lion freshmen Tim Frazier, Bill Edwards, Sasa Borovnjak and Marshall, who held their own against and alongside veterans Battle, Chris Babb, David Jackson, Andrew Jones and Jeff Brooks.
“I’m happy for the guys,” Battle said. “I think a lot of people played well and a lot of people were competing. This was big for them. They got a lot to show Coach (Ed DeChellis).”
