STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) – Finally, Talor Battle has a little more help at Penn State.
A year after a disastrous last-place finish in the Big Ten, the Nittany Lions have made midseason waves with back-to-back upsets of ranked teams Michigan State and Illinois.
In success-starved Happy Valley, that’s big news, something the team hadn’t accomplished since the 1954 NCAA tournament.
The go-to guy is still Battle, who leads the Big Ten in scoring (20.9 points).
His supporting cast, though, has stepped up to prove that veteran-laden Penn State (10-6, 3-2) has the potential to maybe, just maybe, make things interesting for the conference’s top contenders.
An even tougher challenge comes Saturday, when the Nittany Lions visit No. 2 Ohio State.
