Both were named to the All-ACC team and Ingram was named Rookie Of The Year.

Allen was named first team while Ingram was named to the second.

UNC's Brice Johnson and Malcolm Brogdon were unanimous selections. Brogdon was also named ACC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.

Miami's Jim Larranaga was named ACC Coach Of The Year.

For the most part there's not a lot to quibble with but we have one bone to pick: Grayson Allen's improvement from his freshman year is unprecedented. We don't see how Jaron Blossomgame, or anyone, has improved more.
