Posts 21 in victory Battle racked up 21 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 95-76 win over Santa Clara.

Impact Battle was limited offensively when coming off the bench in last Saturday's loss to St. Mary's, but he returned to the starting five Tuesday and responded with his third effort of 20 or more points in February. Inconsistency has been an issue for the Arkansas transfer, and while he currently has a three-year high in shooting percentage (43.3), his 12.8 ppg average is the worst mark since his freshman year back in 2019-20. He'll look to string some solid performances together with the WCC tournament fast approaching.
