Hurricanes' Star Big Earns All-ACC Second Team Honors
In a season that hasn't gone Miami's way, they received some positive news today regarding one of their top players.
Per an ACC release, Hurricanes' star big Norchad Omier has been selected to the All-ACC Second Team. Omier was a third team selection last season and took a jump this season with an improved role.
As the focal point of Miami's offense, Omier average 17.0 PPG (up 3.9 PPG from the previous season) and 9.9 RPG while leading the conference in double-doubles with 16.
The only other Hurricane to receive any sort of recognition was freshman Kyshawn George earning one vote for ACC Rookie of the Year.
The rest of the ACC teams are as follows:
All-ACC First Team
RJ Davis, North Carolina
PJ Hall, Clemson
Kyle Filipowksi, Duke
Hunter Sallis, Wake Forest
Blake Hinson, Pittsburgh
All-ACC Second Team
Armando Bacot, North Carolina
Reece Beekman, Virginia
Judah Mintz, Syracuse
Norchad Omier, Miami
Quinten Post, Boston College
All-ACC Third Team
DJ Horne, NC State
Harrison Ingram, North Carolina
Jeremy Roach, Duke
Markus Burton, Notre Dame
Sean Pedulla, Virginia Tech
Carolina's Davis earned ACC Player of the Year honors to no surprise, as one of his highlights of the season came against Miami when he had a career and venue high 42 points.
Looking forward to when Omier will next be in action, you can watch him and the rest of the Hurricanes tomorrow as they'll take on Boston College in the first round of the ACC Tournament. The game will be on ACC Network at 7:00 PM. The winner is slated to play Clemson on Wednesday.
Omier's future remains up in the air whether or not he'll exercise his final year of eligibility and or return to Miami.
