POINT GUARD FROM EITHER UVA OR MIAMI DESTINED TO BE THE NEXT ACC PLAYER OF THE WEEK

It appears that if you play point guard and you beat North Carolina, you are named the ACC Player of the Week. That’s is exactly what happened with Boston College’s Tyrese Rice last week, and Wake Forest’s Jeff Teague this week.

Interestingly, the Heels face Virginia tomorrow night and the young Cavs feature guard Sylven Landesberg who seems to be the Rookie of the Week in every week that ends in Saturday. Can the still-wet-behind-the-ears Landesberg lead the Wahoos to another upset of UNC and grab the coveted Player/Rookie of the Week double/double?

Probably not. But, history does have a nasty habit of repeating itself…

In a related item, this from the league office: Wake Forest's Jeff Teague has been named ACC Player of the Week, while Virginia's Sylven Landesberg earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors.

Teague scored a career-high 34 points to key the fourth-ranked Demon Deacons to a 92-89 win over North Carolina on Sunday night. It marked the second straight game in which the sophomore guard had scored 30 points or more.

Teague, who played 39 minutes in the contest, went 9-for-17 from the floor, including a 3-for-4 mark from beyond the arc. He also went 13-for-15 at the free throw line and made 5-of-6 free throws in the final two minutes of the game. Teague dished out a team-high four assists and pulled down six rebounds. On the season, Teague is leading the ACC with 20.6 points per game.

Landesberg, a 6-foot-6, 205-pound freshman, scored 24 points and had 13 rebounds in Virginia's games against Brown and Virginia Tech. That included a 20-point effort in the Cavaliers' 78-75 loss at Virginia Tech. Landesberg was 7-for-11 (63.6 percent) from the field vs. the Hokies and made all six of his free throw attempts.

Landesberg also had five assists, one steal and six turnovers in 38 minutes of action. It was his eighth game this season of 20 or more points.
