Jim Boeheim is hopeful to have Tyus Battle back in practice today after the junior guard missed the first two games of his Syracuse Orange basketball career during the ACC Tournament. In Battle’s absence, Syracuse went 1-1 by handling Pittsburgh before falling to Duke in the conference tournament quarterfinals.
Battle missed the conference tournament after taking a hard fall last Saturday at Clemson. Boeheim suggested after the Pittsburgh game on Wednesday night that Battle was still two or three days away from getting back on the court. After the game against Duke, Boeheim offered a similar sentiment.
