PSU’s Taylor honored by Big Ten

Penn State’s Brandon Taylor earned Big Ten Co-Player of the Week honors Monday.

Taylor led the Nittany Lions to wins over then-No. 4 Iowa and Rutgers last week. The senior finished with 18 points and nine rebounds in the team’s upset of the Hawkeyes, and he scored 17 points and pulled down a career-high 14 rebounds in the win over the Scarlet Knights.

Indiana’s Troy Williams shared the honor with Taylor.

Taylor leads Penn State in scoring with 16.6 points per game and rebounds with 6.5 per game.

The Nittany Lions (14-13, 5-9) host Nebraska at 7 p.m. Thursday.
