Duke freshman Gary Trent Jr. and NC State sophomore Omer Yurtseven have been recognized as the Atlantic Coast Conference Basketball Co-Players of the Week, while Trent earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors.
Trent averaged a team-best 23.5 points in leading No. 5 Duke (17-2, 5-2) to a pair of ACC wins on the road at No. 25 Miami and at home over Pitt. Trent scored a career-high 30 at Miami, and followed that with a 17-point effort against Pitt, his ninth straight game with double-digit points.
Trent led Duke’s late-game rally at Miami by scoring 13 points in the final eight minutes on perfect shooting (3-for-3 on 3-point shots, 4-for-4 from the foul line), as the Blue Devils overcame a 13-point deficit to win 83-75.
