GREENSBORO, N.C. – Virginia Tech senior guard Justin Robinson has been voted the Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week, while Duke's RJ Barrett and North Carolina's Coby White earned ACC Co-Freshman of the Week accolades.
ACC weekly honors are determined by a vote of a 15-member media panel and are announced on Mondays throughout the regular season. The ACC Player of the Week selection is Robinson's first of the season. Barrett was recognized as the ACC Freshman of the Week for the third time and White for the second time.
White became the first North Carolina player in 18 years to lead the team in points, rebounds, assists and steals in the No. 11 Tar Heels' 103-82 win over 10th-ranked Virginia Tech. White finished last Monday night's game with 27 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals. The Goldsboro, North Carolina, native was 9-of-16 from the floor, 5-of-11 from 3-point range and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line.Â
White matched his season best with seven boards and had a season-high four steals. White and Nassir Little set a UNC record for points in a game by two freshmen (50). White became the first Tar Heel to ever have at least 27 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in the same game.
