Seth Trimble has accomplished quite a lot during his time with the UNC basketball program.
From highlight-reel dunks to an incredible buzzer-beater against the Tar Heels' biggest rival, Trimble has a pretty awesome resume to his name as his college career nears its end.
On Monday, Trimble accomplished something that he never did before, earning a conference accolade for the first time in his career.

What a week it was for Trimble
In two games, both of which resulted in Tar Heels' victories, the senior guard from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin averaged 25.0 points, 4.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds, guiding the Tar Heels to wins over then No. 24-ranked Louisville and Virginia Tech.
His career-high 30 points guided the way in the victory over Louisville, marking the first 30+ point performance by a Tar Heel in two seasons. In that game, Trimble was highly effective offensively, knocking down 11 of his 16 shot attempts from the floor.

In his encore presentation, Trimble scored 20 points on 7 of 12 shooting from the floor, making it the second time in his college career that he scored 20+ points in consecutive games.
As the games went on, Trimble turned it up a notch. Of the 50 points scored this week, 27 came in the second half, providing a huge boost for the Tar Heels in their efforts to secure each victory.
No one better
Just like the game-winner against Duke, no one is more deserving of the love and praise than Seth Trimble.
For a guy who has been with the program for four years, battled through the highest of highs and lowest of lows, and serves as a tremendous representation of the University of North Carolina and the Chapel Hill community as a whole, Trimble has truly earned this moment, and it's amazing to see him getting his flowers leading into his final week of the regular season as a Tar Heel.
Of course, Trimble doesn't want his college career to end, as the senior guard aims to lead North Carolina to a deep postseason run over the next few weeks. If he continues to play at the level he showcased a week ago, there's no telling just how far this UNC team can go.
