In the PSAL Brooklyn Winter Classic at Brooklyn College a day later, Tyler went head to head with Benjamin Banneker’s Gary Forbes. While the Virginia-bound Forbes scored 38 points, including eight three-pointers, it was Tyler who put the game away with a pair of free throws with 17 seconds to clinch a 64-63 win.
