Coming into the season, many wondered what would happen when Penn State All-Big Ten guard Talor Battle struggled to tally points in a given game. With no other proven scorer on the roster, it was a fair question to ask about the Nittany Lions.<\/p>\n

It took all of two outings for the answer to begin to reveal itself. After going off for 27 in the opening win against Penn last Friday, Battle was ice cold when Robert Morris came calling at the Jordan Center Monday. He went 2 of 9 from the floor and badly missed all four of his 3-point ties.<\/p>\n

And Penn State won, 80-61, blowing open a tight game at the half to improve to 2-0 on the season. Leading the way were two of Battle’s fellow guards, as true freshman Tim Frazier (19 points) and sophomore Chris Babb (15 points) both posted career-high scoring numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalor is a really good player, one of the best in [the Big Ten],\u201d PSU coach Ed DeChellis said. \u201cThere are going to be nights when he has to do other things for us. \u2026 People are going to try to get into him and take him out [of his game]. We need other guys to step up and I think guys did that tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
