Syracuse forward Oshae Brissett named ACC rookie of the week
Syracuse freshman forward Oshae Brissett was named Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the week, the league announced Monday afternoon.
Brissett had a 25-point, 14-rebound performance in Syracuse’s comeback win at Georgetown, the first player since Syracuse Carmelo Anthony with a line of at least 25 points and 14 rebounds in a single game, per Syracuse.com.
Brissett hit four three-pointers in the second half of the game versus the Hoyas, erasing a 13-point deficit and tying the game, where the Orange would go on to win.
The Georgetown game marked his second straight 20+ point performance as the 25-point output comes the game after Brissett recorded a then-career-high 20 points against Colgate.
