KD honored
NC State’s Khadijah Whittington was named Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week after posting double-doubles in three games.
Whittington led NC State to a perfect 3-0 finish last week, including the tournament title at the Junkanoo Jam Lucaya Division in Freeport, Bahamas.
Whittington averaged 20.7 points on 65.7 percent (23-for-35) shooting to go along with 12.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game on the week. The senior from Roanoke, Va., was named Tournament MVP after averaging 25.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 1.5 blocks, while shooting 69 percent (20-for-29) from the floor in two convincing wins over Eastern Michigan and Washington State in the Bahamas.
The forward added an 11-point, 13-rebound effort in a mid-week 80-47 win at home over Arizona. Whittington now has recorded an ACC-leading seven double-doubles on the season, one in every game thus far this season. With the three double-doubles on the week, the veteran now has 26 on her career.
NC State will return to action for the inaugural Big Ten/ACC Women’s Basketball Challenge on Thursday, Nov. 29. The Wolfpack welcome Illinois for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off.
