Louisville forward Jordan Nwora's sophomore success didn't go unnoticed by Atlantic Coast Conference media. He was named the ACC's Most Improved Player on Monday, as announced by the conference. Nwora, who also was a third-team All-ACC selection, finished the regular season fifth in the conference at 17.3 points per game, up 11.6 points per game from his freshman average. That was good for the nation's second-most improved scoring average this season.

He's one of four players in the ACC to score 20 or more points in a dozen games this season, and reached double figures in 29 of of 31 games, including each of the past 16.

He also has improved his rebounding average, and logged eight double-doubles this season. Nwora just edged Notre Dame's John Mooney, 30-27, to win the honor.

Nwora deserved this award and I'm happy he got it, but shocked it didn't go to the Notre Dame player. In the past, any time any ND player was up for any award, they got it over others who were more deserving. Kudos to the ACC for not bowing down to the Irish this time around.
