CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Louisville fifth-year guard/forward Terrence Edwards Jr. and Wake Forest senior guard Cameron Hildreth shared Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week honors, while California’s Jeremiah Wilkinson picked up Rookie of the Week honors for games played February 2-9.
ACC men’s basketball weekly honors are nominated by the respective schools and determined by a vote of an 18-member media panel.
Edwards Jr. and Hildreth each earned ACC weekly honors for the first time this season. Wilkinson was tabbed ACC Rookie of the Week for the third time this season and the second time in the last three weeks (December 2, January 27).
Edwards Jr. averaged 23.0 points, 8.0 assists and 6.5 rebounds in Louisville’s wins over Boston College (84-58) and Miami (88-78). A native of Atlanta, he shot 58.1% from the floor, 57.1% from 3-point range and a perfect 100% from the free throw line. On Wednesday, February 5, at Boston College, Edwards scored 19 points, going 8-of-15 from the floor. He also pulled down eight rebounds and dished out six assists, becoming the Cardinals' primary point guard for most of the second half after Chucky Hepburn went down with an injury. On Saturday, February 8, he became the starting point guard for Louisville with Hepburn out and played a full 40 minutes, scoring a season-high 27 points on 10-of-16 shooting and logging a career-high 10 assists against just two turnovers.
Hildreth averaged 22.5 points, 3.5 steals, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in road wins over Stanford and California as the Demon Deacons became the first ACC team this season to sweep the West Coast road trip. In the 76-73 victory over Stanford on Wednesday, the native of Worthing, England, recorded a team-high 22 points on 7-10 shooting from the field while connecting on six free throw attempts. In Saturday's 10-point victory at Cal, Hildreth once again led the Demon Deacons with 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field and 6-of-7 from the free throw line as he recorded his third straight 20-point game. Fourteen of his points came in the second half. He also added five rebounds, three assists and a career-high five steals. He became the first Demon Deacon to record five steals since Tyree Appleby did so against Clemson during the 2022-23 season.
Wilkinson averaged 17.5 points and 2.5 assists against NC State and Wake Forest. Hailing from Powder Springs, Georgia, he hit the 20-point plateau for the sixth time this season with 21 points on Saturday against Wake Forest. He scored 14 points and recorded a season-high four assists in the Golden Bears’ Wednesday triumph over NC State.
