GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Wake Forest guard Tyree Appleby is The Associated Press men's basketball player of the year in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the second straight season a Demon Deacons player took the honor after Alondes Williams earned it a year ago. Pitt coach Jeff Capel was named coach of the year and Duke freshman Kyle Filipowski was named newcomer of the year in voting released Tuesday. Appleby, a 6-foot grad transfer guard from Florida, led the ACC in scoring at 18.8 points a game and assists at 6.
