Tyler Ennis vs. EMU

Syracuse guard Tyler Ennis is the 11th Canadian to play basketball in the ACC. His 163 points already has him fifth on the league's all-time Canadian scoring list.

This season is something of a golden age for Canadians playing basketball in the ACC, which isn't saying a whole lot since Syracuse's Tyler Ennis is only the 11th athlete from north of the border to ever play in the conference.

But combine Ennis with Boston College leading scorer Olivier Hanlan (last year's ACC rookie of the year), and it's an unprecedented high-profile Canadian pair the league has never seen before.

Hanlan will probably break the ACC scoring records for Canadians next weekend when the struggling Eagles visit Virginia Tech (he needs only seven points). Meanwhile, Ennis has cracked the top five in Canadian career scoring in the conference before he reached the midpoint of his freshman season with the Orange.

Barring injury, Ennis will probably move into fourth by season's end. But considering he'll need nearly 600 points to move into third place, that's a feat that will have to wait for a while.

Here's the full Canadian scoring rundown in the ACC through Sunday's games, courtesy of the conference media guide and some basic addition of this year's statistics.
