UNC Basketball: Joel Berry II named Co-ACC Player of the Week

For the second consecutive week and fourth time this season, North Carolina junior point guard Joel Berry II has been honored by the Atlantic Coast Conference as the league’s player of the week.

Berry shares the honor this week with Notre Dame senior guard Steve Vasturia. For Vasturia, it’s his first such honor of the year.

Berry has won the award five times in his career, becoming the seventh Tar Heel to do so, joining Antawn Jamison, Tyler Hansbrough, Phil Ford, Marcus Paige, Michael Jordan and Mike O’Koren.

On Wednesday night against Wake Forest, Berry had 18 points, seven assists and three rebounds.
