Halftime Update from the Rock

Well so much for a trap game, or a Syracuse-like letdown.

Penn State got out to an 19-0 lead and own a 46-23 advantage over Slippery Rock as the Nittany Lions ran into the locker room at the half.

The Rock doesn't look one bit like a Big Ten squad -- it must have attempted close to 15 three pointers in the first half, only connecting on three of them. They haven't tried to score from the post once.

Every Nittany Lion player saw action in the first half as well, excluding the three walk-ons. Freshman forward Sasa Borovnjak had a nice three-point play, cashing in on a shot-fake and converting on the foul shot.

Sophomore guard Chris Babb finished the half with 10 points and two three-pointers in a row. Talor Battle paced the team with 12 points.

More to come at the conclusion of the game, and of course, check here first for any news pertaining to the Nittany Lions basketball team.

The Roster

Mug

AJ Cassavell is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former Collegian women's volleyball, softball, Lady Lions, men's soccer and men's gymnastics reporter. A 5-foot-7 center in Middle School, AJ at one point said he wished he was shorter so he could play guard. The gods blessed him, and by the time he reached his senior year of High School he had grown half an inch, making him just tall enough to see the floor for about ten minutes all season - as a point guard.


Mug

Stephen Hennessey is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former Collegian women's soccer, men's lacrosse, wrestling, field hockey and women's tennis writer. Steve used to idolize former Utah Utes and New Jersey Nets forward Keith Van Horn — he even wore high, white socks to his CYO basketball games and always demanded the number 44 for his jersey. He even scored a Van Horn autograph on the back of a Toys 'R Us catalog. No joke.


Mug

Andrew Robinson is a junior majoring in journalism and is a men's basketball reporter for the Collegian. He is a former women's soccer, women's rugby and men's swimming writer. A loyal supporter of Dwyane Wade, A-Rob can often be spotted wearing his red, white or black number 3 Heat jersey with basketball shorts, even in the dead of winter. He will, however, respect press etiquette and wear khakis and dress shirts to Nittany Lion games.
