The 6-foot-5 Gill St. Bernard’s guard is trying to get to Villanova for the Feb. 26 game against Butler with the UConn date to be determined.
“UConn and I are working on dates for early March,” Gary Battle told SNY.tv.
Tyus was supposed to visit Villanova for the Seton Hall game Feb. 7 but was unable to make it.
