Three Syracuse players – Tyus Battle, Oshae Brissett and Frank Howard – earned recognition from the ACC, the league announced in a release Sunday afternoon.

Battle received the most prestigious honor of the three, being named to the all-ACC second team. He was followed by Brissett, who was named to the conference’s all-rookie team.

Howard received five votes for most improved player in the conference, tied for the second-most behind only North Carolina forward Luke Maye.

Battle, Howard and Brissett have been the Orange’s go-to players all season long. Each player plays at least 10.6 minutes more than the player who’s seen the fourth-highest minutes per game – Brissett’s 37.9 minutes per game, the lowest of SU’s top three players, is followed by Paschal Chukwu’s 27.3 minutes per game. The trio also leads Syracuse in scoring with Battle, Howard and Brissett scoring 20.0, 15.2 and 14.7 points per game, respectively.
