Wake Forest's Eric Williams was named ACC Player of the Week on Monday after recording back-to-back "double-doubles" last week, averaging 25.5 points and 11.5 rebounds in games against Georgia Tech and Miami.

The 6-9, 291-pound junior opened the week with a 27-point, 12-rebound performance in a 102-101 overtime loss to the 22nd-ranked Yellow Jackets. Two days later, the Wake Forest, NC junior had 23 points and 11 rebounds in a 94-82 win over the Hurricanes. For the week, Williams was 20-of-26 (.769) from the field.

Wake Forest has earned ACC Player of the Week honors four times this season. Chris Paul won the award twice and Justin Gray once.
