GREENSBORO, N.C. - NC State forward Khadijah Whittington was named Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week on Monday after posting double-doubles in all three games last week.
Whittington led NC State (6-1) to a perfect 3-0 finish last week, including the tournament title at the Junkanoo Jam Lucaya Division in Freeport, Bahamas.
The Roanoke, Va., native averaged 20.7 points on 65.7 percent (23-for-35) shooting to go along with 12.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game on the week. The senior was named Tournament MVP after averaging 25.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 1.5 blocks, while shooting 69 percent (20-for-29) from the floor in two convincing wins over Eastern Michigan and Washington State in the Bahamas.
The forward added an 11-point, 13-rebound effort in a mid-week 80-47 win at home over Arizona. Whittington now has recorded an ACC-leading seven double-doubles on the season, one in every game thus far this season. With the three double-doubles on the week, the veteran now has 26 on her career.
Whittington leads the ACC in scoring (19.9), rebounds (13.4), third in steals (3.29) and ninth in blocks (1.43) per game.
NC State will return to action for the inaugural Big Ten/ACC Women’s Basketball Challenge on Thursday, Nov. 29. The Wolfpack welcome Illinois for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off.
