A four-day layoff didn’t lay to rest any of Jamison Battle’s sharpshooting ways.
Fresh off back-to-back games with at least five made threes, Battle made five in a row to start his night against Rutgers on Wednesday.
Finishing 6-of-9 overall from downtown as part of a 22-point outing, Battle displayed a clear level of confidence as he helped the Buckeyes build a lead and hang on late in a 76-72 win over the Scarlet Knights.
Battle says that confidence primarily stems from his teammates.
“No matter what the case is, if I’m wide open, the ball is going up,” Battle said.
