The Associated Press unveiled its All-American teams Tuesday.
Selected on all 58 ballots, Purdue’s Zach Edey was the sole unanimous first-team selection. The 7-foot-4 center dominated college basketball with 22.3 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game.
Edey isn’t the Big Ten’s only first-team honoree, as Indiana’s Trayce Jackson-Davis also received recognition after averaging 20.8 points and 10.9 rebounds.
Kansas’ Jalen Wilson, Houston’s Marcus Sasser, and Alabama’s Brandon Miller round out the first team. That gives each of the NCAA tournament’s top seeds a representative.
Reigning AP National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe made the All-American second team alongside UCLA’s Jaime Jaquez Jr., Gonzaga’s Drew Timme, Arizona’s Azuolas Tubelis, and Penn State’s Jalen Pickett. It’s Timme’s third straight year on the second team.
Kansas State’s Markquis Nowell and Keyontae Johnson made the third team alongside Marquette’s Tyler Kolek, North Carolina’s Armando Bacot, and Iowa’s Kris Murphy.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter’s Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
