Radford earns ACC Co-Player of the Week

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Following his two stellar performances last week, Tyrece Radford earned ACC Co-Player of the Week, as announced by the league office Monday.

The redshirt sophomore averaged 19.0 points, 8,0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1 steal per game last week, while shooting a blistering 68.4 percent from the field, guiding the Hokies (11-2, 5-1 ACC) to two victories, including one of those being a ranked win.

He joins Keve Aluma (Nov. 30) as the lone two Hokies to earn the nod this season.

GAME BREAKDOWN

Radford posted his first double-double of the season and the fourth of his career, owning 18 points and 12 rebounds, including four offensive, while also dishing out five assists – all three major categories were team highs on the night  – against then-No. 19/23 Duke (5-3, 3-1) on Tuesday at home.

He then followed it up with his second 20-point outing of the season, pouring in 20 points at Wake Forest (3-5, 0-5), and also had four rebounds, two assists and two steals.

The Louisiana native shot an absurd 68.4 percent clip from the field for the week and also got in the lane at will, racking up 16 free-throw attempts and hitting 12 of them (75%). He also led Tech in scoring in both games.

TEAM NOTES

Radford helped the Hokies to their third ranked win of the season by defeating then-No. 19/23 Duke, making them the only ACC team that has three or more. He also led Tech to starting 5-1 in the ACC for just the second time in school history (joined ACC in '04).

UP NEXT

Tech will be back in action on Wednesday versus Boston College (3-10, 1-6) at 5 p.m. ET at Carilion Clinic Court at Cassell Coliseum on ACC Network.
