CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia junior guard Kyle Guy (Indianapolis, Ind.) has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Basketball Player of the Week, the league announced Monday (Jan. 7).
 
Guy averaged 25.5 points and 6.5 rebounds as No. 4 Virginia posted wins against Marshall (100-64) and No. 9 Florida State (65-52). The 6-2 sharpshooter set a UVA school record with 11 consecutive 3-pointers over the two-game span. Guy shot 68 percent from the field (17-of-25), 80 percent from 3-point range (12-of-15) and was a perfect 5-of-5 from the charity stripe in the two wins.
