Collegian: Guard battling sickness

Talor Battle admitted he played through a stomach virus during Friday’s game versus Slippery Rock and was visibly uncomfortable at the post-game press conference.

Apparently it’s a lingering issue.

Coach Ed DeChellis said Battle “didn’t look good” at practice on Sunday and didn’t know if Battle would be OK to play Friday in Penn State’s opener against Penn.Junior forward D.J. Jackson said Battle practiced a little bit Sunday but stopped practicing because Battle felt sick. Jackson talked to Battle Monday morning and said the team’s point guard was taking it easy for the day.

“We’re hoping it’s a stomach flu and not one of these things that are bouncing around now,” DeChellis said. “They’ve got their close eye on him.”
