Standout effort in defeat Banchero recorded 20 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 79-78 OT loss to Florida State.

Impact Banchero continues to nonchalantly go about his business in what is shaping up to be a potential All-American campaign. Tuesday was his third double-double of the season and also a career-best assist mark, which helps negate the fact he committed four turnover for the second consecutive contest. Banchero has already scored in double figures in all 17 games this season, but he may be called upon for even more offense in the short term with teammate Trevor Keels dealing with a calf injury of undetermined severity.
