NC State’s Allerik Freeman is the ACC Player of the Week

For the 2nd straight week, an NC State player is the ACC Player of the Week, and this time it’s Allerik Freeman.

Freeman scored a career-high 29 points on 8-for-11 shooting, including 7-for-7 from 3-point range in Saturday’s 95-91 overtime win at No. 10 North Carolina. The graduate student from Charlotte, North Carolina added five rebounds and an assist.

The 7-for-7 performance from long range against the Tar Heels tied an ACC record for most 3-pointers in a game without a miss. Earlier in the week, Freeman had 13 points, five rebounds and an assist in a 72-68 win at Pittsburgh. Freeman scored 10 of his 13 points against Pitt in the second half as the Wolfpack overcame 10-point halftime deficit, including two free throws with eight seconds remaining to clinch victory. (ACC)
