Tyus Battle drives to the rim against Cornell. He had 26 points in SU's win over the Big Red.

Syracuse guard Tyus Battle has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week. He averaged 23 points and four rebounds per game across the Orange’s (5-2) two wins last week.

At then-No. 16 Ohio State last Wednesday, Battle played all 40 minutes. He finished with 20 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the floor and 7-for-8 from the foul line.

Then on Saturday against Cornell, Battle led the Orange with 26 points on 10-for-17 from the field. He made four 3-pointers, as well.

Battle has moved himself to No. 43 on the all-time Syracuse scoring list, a point behind Arinze Onuaku. The Orange are in action next on Tuesday against Northeastern.
