Syracuse didn’t panic in overtime win against Duke in Cameron
Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY SportsTrailing 84-83 with just under two minutes remaining in regulation and with possession, Syracuse Orange guard Tyus Battle collected the ball on the right wing inside of Cameron Indoor Stadium and looked to attack. He crossed over left-to-right, right-to-left and then back left-to-right and drove the lane past Jack White before throwing up a shot that was blocked by Marques Bolden.
Battle retreated to the defensive end and slapped hands with Frank Howard, his backcourt mate of three seasons. The two of them had been in that scenario before. In a dire situation that seemed to turn the tide in Duke’s favor, Syracuse dug in deep and earned a defensive stop.
