GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Clemson’s Jaron Blossomgame has been selected as the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, while Florida State’s Malik Beasley earned the league’s Rookie of the Week recognition.
Both of this week’s honorees hail from Alpharetta, Georgia. ACC weekly honors are determined by a vote of a select media panel.
The Tigers’ Blossomgame averaged 21 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 blocks as Clemson posted wins over No. 9/6 Duke and No. 8/9 Miami. With Blossomgame leading the way, the Tigers are the first ACC team since Wake Forest in 2002-03 and the first Clemson team in school history to post three consecutive regular-season wins over opponents ranked in the Associated Press Top 25.
