KYRIE IRVING NAMED ACC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK

So far so good for Kyrie Irving and the Duke Blue Devils!  After Duke’s 97-60 impressive win over Princeton in the first game of the season, Irving was named as the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Co-Rookie of the Week along with N.C State’s C.J Leslie.  Irving, in his debut as a Blue Devil, finished with 17 points, 9 assists, and just one turnover. His nine assists was a school record for a freshman, as was his 9 to 1 turnover ratio for a player having more than 8 assists in a game! In addition, he is only the 4^th true freshman to ever start at the point guard position in a season opener for Duke under Coach K’s helm. The others? Johnny Dawkins, Tommy Amaker, Bobby Hurley, and Jason Williams. Needless to say, Irving is in great company! Go Duke…
