AP All American Team Selections
LINK
Quote:
North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough and Kansas State's Michael Beasley were unanimous selections to The Associated Press' All-America team Monday. For the first time, no senior was chosen.
Beasley and Kevin Love of UCLA made it two straight years there were two freshmen chosen. Sophomore D.J. Augustin of Texas and junior Chris Douglas-Roberts of Memphis rounded out the selections, shutting out the seniors.
The AP started choosing All-America teams after the 1947-48 season, and for the next six decades there was at least one member of the senior class on every first team.
Until this group.
Hansbrough, a junior and the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, and Beasley, the Big 12 player of the year and third freshman to lead the country in rebounding, were named on all 72 ballots and received 360 points from the same national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. The voting was done before the NCAA tournament.
"To be one of just two players in the country to receive such an honor is very humbling," said Beasley, who led Kansas State to its first NCAA bid since 1996. "I have never been about individual accomplishments, but about helping my team win games. I wish we were still playing, but I am happy with the success we had this season."

Re: AP All American Team Selections
So was Curry's selection due in large part to the Wildcats' tournament run? Or were these put together prior to the NCAA Tournament?

I read that the voting took place before the NCAA Tournament.

It had to because there is no way Chris Lofton should have been in after the tourney.

I doubt it... prior to the tournament. Let's all remember that Carmelo Anthony was not a first team all-american (but deserved to be)... but Hollis Price  was
