2/15/2016 2:32:00 PM | Men's Basketball
DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke freshman Brandon Ingram garnered his fourth ACC Rookie of the Week honor Monday, as voted on by a panel of media members who cover the conference. The Kinston, N.C., native posted a stellar week of competition that helped guide the Blue Devils to two victories over top-20 opponents.
Ingram averaged a team-high 21.5 points and added 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists on the week as Duke toppled No. 13 Louisville on Monday and defeated No. 7 Virginia on Saturday to extend its winning streak to four games.
Ingram propelled Duke past Louisville with 18 points and 10 rebounds, marking his sixth double-double to lead all ACC freshmen this season. He was 5-of-9 (.555) from the floor and 6-of-8 (.750) from the free-throw line while handing out four assists. Ingram scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half.
Against Virginia, Ingram shook off a slow start to score a game-high 25 points, one shy of his career high and matching his best output in an ACC game. The four-time rookie of the week honoree scored 18 consecutive points for Duke in a stretch that started near the end of the first half and continued after halftime. Ingram was 4-of-9 (.444) from behind the arc in the win, tying his career high for triples in a game. He also hauled in seven rebounds against the Cavaliers.
Ingram has posted impressive numbers during his freshman campaign and ranks among the top two ACC rookies in numerous categories, including points per game (1st - 17.2), rebounds per game (1st - 6.7), three-point field goal percentage (1st - .409) and blocks per game (2nd - 1.52). He also leads Duke in steals (28) and ranks second on the team in a variety of other statistical categories, including points per game, rebounds per game, three-point field goals made (54), field goals made (150) and free throws made (77).
Duke returns to action Wednesday, traveling to Chapel Hill to face in-state rival North Carolina. Tip is set for 9 p.m., with coverage on ESPN.
