Syracuse Basketball: Tyus Battle’s decision was exceptionally wise

There are many things that I admire about Tyus Battle.

First and foremost, he seems like a classy, respectful young man who has a good head on his shoulders, the result of tremendous family influences in his life.

Battle takes his studies seriously.

He’s energetic and passionate on the court, but isn’t one to intentionally show up his opponents.

Battle doesn’t like to lose, although he’s graceful in defeat. He isn’t afraid to display his emotions when he and his teammates succeed, yet Battle lets his skills speak for themselves, rather than doing a whole lot of talking himself.
