With the regular season officially over, it’s award season as teams in the ACC prepare and make their way toward Washington, DC, for the 2024 ACC Tournament.
Duke will head to the nation’s capital with three All-ACC talents as the league office honored Kyle Filipowskiu, Jared McCain, and Jeremy Roach.
Roach, in particular, was named an All-ACC Third Team member for his efforts during the season. Roach, a two-time captain for the Duke team, ranked third in the ACC in assist/turnover ratio (2.51) while dishing out 3.1 assists per contest. He finished the regular season 16th in the ACC with 14.3 points per game, eclipsed the 1,000-point mark in November, and is currently at 1,408 points for his career.

He shot a blistering 48.4% from the field, including 44.2% from long distance, made 50 3-pointers, and converted 85.7% of his free throws. He served as much more of a combo guard this year, and while the Blue Devils have a talented backcourt, Roach remained the late-game option to get a basket if the ball wasn’t in the hands of All-ACC First Team member Kyle Filipowski.
Roach has at most nine games left for the remainder of this season before making a decision on his future. The Blue Devils honored Roach for senior night this past weekend against UNC, but Roach could still use his COVID year of eligibility to return for one final season.
