Charlotte, N.C. — He hadn’t played in five of his last six games, but with Tyus Battle sidelined with a sore back, Syracuse Orange freshman point guard Jalen Carey was called into action in the first half against Pittsburgh in the second round of the 2019 ACC Tournament. As the season has worn on, Carey has seen a reduction of his role. He played in every non-conference game sans Arkansas State but in the ACC regular season Carey didn’t play in eight out 18 conference contests.
On Wednesday night against Pittsburgh his number called at the 6:49 mark in the first half.
