North Carolina's Harrison Barnes has earned the StatSheet ACC Player of the Week for the week ending February 20th. StatSheet's ACC Freshman of the Week goes to Ryan Anderson from Boston College. And last but not least, Florida State's Ian Miller is the StatSheet ACC 6th Man of the Week.
Barnes was the ACC leader in scoring (23.5 pts per game). He also tallied respectable numbers with 6.5 rebounds per game, 50% shooting, and 3 three pointers per game. The North Carolina sophomore played well for the Tar Heels in victories versus Miami (FL) and Clemson.
