University of Notre Dame men’s basketball junior guard Prentiss Hubb has been named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Third Team, by a vote from the league coaches and media members, as announced on Monday, March 8, 2021. Hubb led the ACC in total assists (145) and assist average (6.0) while leading the Irish in scoring (14.7 ppg).
Classmate and forward Nate Laszewski was highlighted as well by the league, earning All-ACC Honorable Mention honors.
Hubb led the Irish with five 20-point games in 2020-21 and posted three points-assists double-doubles in conference competition. He is one of just five major conference players across the nation to compile over 100 assists in league play, but also flashed his scoring ability by leading the ACC in three-pointers made in conference play (60).
Laszewski improved across the board in 2020-21, increasing his points-per-game by 6.4 (7.4 to 13.8), while improving his shooting percentage 19% and his three-point percentage by 15 percent. He also compiled three double-doubles for points and rebounds during the season, but just missed that plateau in 12 other contests when he finished with nine rebounds.
Hubb and Laszewski will lead the 11th-seeded Irish into the first round of the ACC tournament on Tuesday, March 9, against No. 14 Wake Forest at 7 p.m. ET on the ACC Network.
