In a season full of 20-point outputs, Tyus Battle’s most impressive to-date was Saturday’s effort against Georgetown. The Syracuse Orange sophomore had 29, including a 6-of-11 showing from three. He was far from the only clutch shooter down the stretch for SU, but his consistency helped push the team into overtime (and then to the seven-point win).
Through 10 games this season, Battle’s scored 20 or more seven times, and 25 or more in three of those. His 29 points against Georgetown were the third-most by a Syracuse player ever against the Hoyas -- behind Billy Owens (36 in 1990) and Carmelo Anthony (30 in 2003).
