Maye Named ACC Player Of The Week
February 25, 2019 | Men's Basketball
CHAPEL HILL—North Carolina's Luke Maye is the ACC Player of the Week following the Tar Heels' 88-72 win at No. 1 Duke and 77-59 win over 16th-ranked Florida State.
The player of the week award is Maye's second of the season and fifth of his career. He is the eighth Tar Heel to win the award at least five times (12 by Antawn Jamison; 10 by Tyler Hansbrough; 6 by Phil Ford; 5 by Maye, Joel Berry II, Marcus Paige, Michael Jordan and Mike O'Koren).
Maye scored 30 points and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds at Cameron Indoor Stadium. He was 14 for 24 from the floor, becoming only the second player in college basketball history have 30 points and 15 rebounds in a win over the AP No. 1 ranked team. He also was just the second Tar Heel with a 30/15 game against the Blue Devils and became the only Tar Heel in history to score 30 points in his career at both NC State and Duke. Maye scored 18 of his 30 points in the first half as the Tar Heels built a 10-point lead, an advantage which remained in double figures for almost the entire second half.
On Saturday, Maye grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds and scored 15 points, 10 of which came in the second half, against the Seminoles. Maye hit two three-pointers in a span of one minute and 27 seconds, which sparked a 16-1 Tar Heel run to extend UNC's lead from four to 19 points. His 11 rebounds helped the Tar Heels out-rebound the 'Noles by 15 (it was FSU's largest rebound deficit of the season).
Maye's back-to-back doubles were his 10th and 11th of the season. He was also named to CoSIDA's Academic All-District 8 team last week.
