CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Quinten Post was named the ACC Player of the Week, it was announced today by the conference office. Post averaged 18.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 blocked shots - including two double-doubles - in a 2-0 week for the Eagles.

The graduate student had 17 points, 10 rebounds, and a career-best five assists in a win over Richmond on Nov. 15. He followed that up with another historic performance in the win over Harvard this past Saturday, registering 20 points and set new career-highs with 19 rebounds and five blocked shots. He also added two assists and a steal.

Since 1996-97, only two other players in the ACC have posted similar stat lines: Shelden Williams (Duke) Williams had 21 points, 19 rebounds, five blocks, three assists, and two steals on Dec. 4, 2005 against Virginia Tech and ; Tim Duncan (Wake Forest) posted 22 points, 22 boards, five blocks, and two assists in a win over Saint Mary's on March 14, 1997.

BC is 4-0 this season - the best start since 2007-08 - and Post has logged three double-doubles in four starts. Post is averaging 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 3.0 blocked shots per game. He is the only player in the country posting that stat line.

Percentage-wise, Post is connecting on better than 55% from the floor, 50% from 3-point land, and 83% from the charity stripe. Last year, he registered the first 50/40/80 shooting percentage line in a decade. Post connected on 53.9% from the floor, 42.6% from the perimeter, and 86.0% from the free throw line in 2022-23. The last player to post those percentages for an entire season (min. 15.0 ppg) was Creighton's Doug McDermott in 2012-13.

Post's award from the ACC marks the first time since Feb. 12, 2018 that a Boston College men's basketball player was honored as the league's Player of the Week (Jerome Robinson).
