On December 9, 2013, he was named the ACC Player of the Week after he led the Hokies to a pair of wins, including a 61–60 overtime road victory against the defending ACC champion Miami. He scored 24 points against Miami and a career-high 34 points in a 81–63 win over Winthrop.[4] With his first three-pointer in the 72–52 loss to Syracuse on January 7, 2014, Eddie became the 44th player in school history to score 1,000 career points.[5] He finished the 2013–14 season with averages of 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 31 games (30 starts).[1][3]
