For the first time this season, a Virginia Cavalier has earned a weekly award from the conference. Sam Hauser was named the ACC Player of the week on Monday, February 8, after averaging 20.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in wins over NC State and Pittsburgh.
Hauser shot a combined 13-for-20 from the field, going 8-for-10 from two and 5-for-10 from three. Against Pitt, Hauser was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field in the second half, including two threes that helped Virginia pull away from the Panthers for good. He also went a combined 10-for-10 from the free throw line last week.
