UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. --- Tim Frazier scored 19 points, Chris Babb had 15 and Jeff Brooks added 12 as Penn State overpowered Robert Morris in the second half tonight en route to an 80-61 non-conference victory.

Babb's 4 3-pointers keyed a 23-4 run in the first 5:40 of the second half as the Nittany Lions (2-0) cruised past the Colonials (0-2) at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Russell Johnson had 11 points for Robert Morris and Velton Jones added 10.

The Colonials led most of the first half, with their biggest lead being six points. But Penn State guard Talor Battle hit his only field goal of the opening 20 minutes on a fast-break layup with 2 seconds left, giving the Lions a 34-33 halftime advantage.
