Three Miami Hurricanes Tabbed All-ACC Honors Ahead of ACC Tournament
In this story:
After leading the University of Miami men’s basketball team to the largest turnaround in Division I this season, Malik Reneau, Tre Donaldson and Ernest Udeh Jr. garnered All-ACC honors as voted on by the league’s coaches and media, it announced Monday.
Reneau was named to the All-ACC First Team as the Miami native leads the team in scoring at 19.0 points per game to go along with 6.6 rebounds. The forward scored 20-or-more points in 16 times and registered nine double-doubles.
He tallied a season-high 28 points in the win over Pitt and registered a double-double with 23 points and a season-high 12 rebounds in the victory at Florida State.
The honor is the third all-conference recognition as he earned All-Big Ten Honorable Mention as a sophomore and junior at Indiana.
Donaldson was voted to the All-ACC Second Team after averaging 16.8 points, 5.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The Tallahassee, Florida, native set a career-high in points with 32 in the win over Virginia Tech as the senior scored Miami’s last 15 points.
He has registered five double-doubles with points and assists, which ranks tied for fifth nationally.
Udeh Jr. was voted to the All-ACC Defensive Team as the rim protector swatted 41 shots and was second in the league in rebounding at 9.4 per game. The Orlando, Fla., native registered a season-high four block in the win at Syracuse and had three in the wins over Stanford and Boston College.
At Clemson, he hauled in a season-high 17 rebounds. Udeh is also a member of the Naismith College Defensive Player of the Year Late Season Watch List.
Miami returns to action Thursday in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament as the No. 3 seed against either No. 6 Louisville, No. 11 SMU or No. 14 Syracuse. The game will tip at 2:30 p.m. and will air on ESPN2.
