GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Syracuse junior Tyus Battle has been recognized as the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball Player of the Week for the second time this season, while Pitt's Trey McGowens earned ACC Freshman of the Week accolades.
ACC weekly honors are determined by a vote of a 15-member media panel and are announced on Mondays throughout the regular season.
Battle was a perfect 8-of-8 from the field and made 5-of-6 from the foul line for a game-high 21 points in the Orange's 81-48 win over St. Bonaventure on Saturday. The Edison, N.J., native added a personal-best six steals, two rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes of play. Battle tops Syracuse in scoring average (18.0) after the first 13 games of the season. This marks his second ACC Player of the Week honor in 2018-19.
Syracuse opens ACC play on Saturday, January 5, at Notre Dame.
