The San Diego, Calif., native shot 66.7 percent from the field (18-for-27), 57.1 percent from three-point range (4-for-7) and 87.5 percent from the foul line (14-for-16) while playing in all 80 minutes of both games.
Thornton, a 6-7 junior forward, tied his career-high with 37 points and pulled down a career-high 15 rebounds in Saturday's 97-96 overtime loss at No. 2 Duke Saturday. The Perry, Ga., native averaged 26.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists on the week as the Seminoles split a pair of conference games.
For the second-straight week, Virginia Tech forward A.D. Vassallo has been selected as the ACC Rookie of the Week.
