Senior forward Jared Dudley earned Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week honors after averaging 25.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in victories over Hartford and Virginia Tech last week. The weekly award, announced by the league office, is decided by a vote of a 10-member media panel.
This week's honor marks the second time Dudley has earned the award this season and the third time he's won the award in his career.
Dudley shot 82.6 percent (19-for-23) from the field in the two games, including 87.5 percent (7-for-8) from three-point range.
The senior from San Diego, Calif., shot 8-for-8 from the field (3-for-3 treys) in a 21-point, eight-rebound, six-assist effort against Hartford on Jan. 31. He then recorded 30 points, 13 rebounds and four assists in a home win over Virginia Tech on Feb. 3. He shot 11-for-15 from the field, including 4-for-5 from three-point range against the Hokies. The senior grabbed seven of his 13 rebounds at the offensive end.
Dudley played just 33 minutes against Virginia Tech, his lowest ACC minute total since Jan. 29, 2006 (29 minutes vs. Georgia Tech). He is now averaging 20.2 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in league play.
With his 30 points against Virginia Tech, Dudley moved into sixth place on Boston College's career scoring list with 1,871 points. His 13 rebounds against the Hokies moved him into the eighth spot on the school's career rebounding list with 858 rebounds.
Dudley is averaging 19.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game in 19 games this season.
Boston College (16-6) returns to action on Wednesday, February 7. Game time is 7 p.m. in the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables, Fla.
