Anthony Named ACC Player And Rookie Of The Week
November 11, 2019 | Men's Basketball
GREENSBORO – North Carolina freshman guard Cole Anthony was named the ACC's Player and Freshman of the Week Monday. ACC men's basketball weekly honors are determined by a vote of a 15-member media panel and announced on Mondays throughout the regular season.
Anthony averaged 27.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.5 steals in North Carolina's two games during the season's opening week, a 76-65 home win over Notre Dame and a 78-62 win at UNCW. He set an ACC record for the most points by an ACC freshman in his college debut with 34 Wednesday against Notre Dame, and he added 11 rebounds and five assists. The 34 points tied the third most by a UNC freshman.
Anthony scored 20 points and pulled down 10 rebounds Friday at UNCW, becoming the first Tar Heel freshman – regardless of position – to post 20 points and 10 rebounds in consecutive games. He tied a UNC record for rebounds by a point guard with 11 against the Irish and became the first Tar Heel point guard ever with 10 or more rebounds in consecutive games when he grabbed 10 at UNCW.
His 54 points are the most ever by a Tar Heel freshman in his first two games and equals the second most by any Tar Heel in his first two games.
