Shabazz: AP First Team All-American

[tcf15]

Joe Kay ‏@apjoekay 4m
AP's All-America team: Sean Kilpatrick, Doug McDermott, Jabari Parker, Russ Smith and Shabazz Napier.

Should make him a consensus First Team All-American.

Damn 3 out of the 5 are from the AAC. Who saw that coming??

 

[FfldCntyFan]

So 60% of the first team came from one (supposed mid-major) conference.

Now THIS is a big honor. Great for Shabazz!

Wasn't Bazz left off the Wooden watch list?

Yes, he was left off the Wooden final list, not the Watch.

So he's not getting the Wooden. I believe the final 4 get invited to the ceremony. Nick Johnson took Shabazz's place.

That's absurd.

This has as much weight as the other 4 in determining the Consensus team. So they are all big honors

The Wooden always screws UConn

Camby over Ray Allen.

Nelson over Okafor.

Ferdette over Kemba.

Leaving Bazz off the finals list.

They hate us.

In my understanding, that makes him consensus, and pushes Kilpatrick to 2nd team. Kilpatrick needed Shabazz or Smith to be second team on this to have a chance.

And it's already on Wikipedia, so it must be true.

6 AP All Americans at UConn:

PG: Kemba Walker
SG: Ray Allen
SF: Rip Hamilton
PF: Donyell Marshall
C: Emeka Okafor
6th Man: Shabazz Napier

Good lord.

Well, I was off-handedly refering to your post where you thought the NBC.com AA list was a "big honor" , so glad you got your story straight now.

They are all big honors. But sure denigrate a kid being named AA by a national media publication.

Now go back to playing World of War Craft.

This is saying Napier is on the Wooden All-America team, but it's not really clear since it names more than 5 players.

I think the other poster meant he was left off the Naismith finalist list.. which doesn't bother me since fan voting is a component. Might as well be a popularity contest. Bazz and Dougie McBuckets are the only 2 consensus 1st team All-Americans this year (named to the 1st team of every major All-America team)

Not true. McDermott and Parker were. Napier was on The Sporting News' Second Team.

He is still a "consensus" All-American along with those two, Russ Smith and Nick Johnson. Those three had 11 "points" out of the 12 possible points because they were First Team in 3 of the 4 major publications the NCAA counts (AP, NABC, USBWA, TSN).

The 5 highest scores (regardless of ties) make the Consensus team.

Honestly, if you look at TSM, it is DeCourcy and 2 interns. I looked up who covered even one college basketball story the entire year, and it was Mike D. and two 20-somethings. Might as well have been a Boneyarder. Boggles my mind how TSN is one of the 4 AA teams for consensus.

Yeah I was about to say that.. TSN is garbage for anything other than baseball coverage.
