Devon Daniels was named ACC Player of the Week on Monday, Feb. 24 for his efforts in the Pack's two games the previous week against top-10 foes.
Daniels opened the week with a career-high 25 points and added nine rebounds in the Pack's 88-66 win over sixth-ranked Duke. The Battle Creek, Mich., native scored 16 of his 25 points in the first half to help NC State build a 15-point halftime lead over the Blue Devils.
The 22-point win over sixth-ranked Duke is the biggest margin of victory for NC State over Duke since Jan. 7, 1978. It also marks the largest margin of defeat for Duke to an unranked opponent in the Mike Krzyzewski era.
Against Florida State, Daniels led the Pack with 18 points, nine rebounds and two steals as NC State fell short to the eighth-ranked Seminoles, 67-61.
For the week, Daniels averaged 21.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game against two top-10 teams.
