Following a standout week in wins over Wake Forest and Georgia Tech, Miami men’s basketball guard Tre Donaldson was named the ACC Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday. 

Donaldson led the Hurricanes in scoring in both contests, averaging 24.0 points to go along with a team-high 16 assists and three steals. The Tallahassee, Florida, native shot 65.2 percent from the floor (15-of-23) and was near perfect from the line, converting 14 of 15 attempts. 

Donaldson had a career game in the win over Georgia Tech as he scored a career-high 27 points and dished out 10 assists with just one turnover. The performance marked his fifth points-assist double-double of the season, which ranks first nationally, and made him the first Hurricane since at least the 1996-97 season to register 25 points and 10 assists in a single game. 

In the road win at Wake, Donaldson tallied 21 points and six assists, including a pair of clutch free throws to put the game away in the waning moments. He was 7-of-10 from the field and a perfect 6-of-6 from the charity stripe while also grabbing three rebounds. 

Donaldson and the Hurricanes return to action Tuesday as they travel to take on Notre Dame. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
