Vernon Carey Jr. gets named as ACC Freshman of Week once again

For the third time this season, Vernon Carey Jr. was named as the ACC Freshman of the Week after the Blue Devils' center posted a double-double in a win over Wofford.

Duke was able to defeat the Terriers 86-57 without Tre Jones and after Wofford was coming off of a win earlier in the week on the road against the then No. 17 North Carolina Tar Heels.

In the victory, Carey Jr. posted 20 points and ten rebounds on 8-of-11 shooting and making all four of his free throw attempts. The Florida native also accumulated two blocks and a steal.
