Associated Press announces loaded men's All-American teams

As the NCAA Tournament comes around the corner, the Associated Press announced its All-American teams on Tuesday. It’s quite a group, too.

The Big Ten was well-represented, with seven players coming from the league — including three First Team nominees: Wisconsin guard Johnny Davis, Illinois center Kofi Cockburn and Iowa guard Keegan Murray. Kentucky center Oscar Tshiebwe received 59 of 60 first-place votes to come in as the AP’s top player after winning SEC Player of the Year, as well. Kansas star guard Ochai Agbaji was the final First Team nominee, coming in third place with 270 votes from the AP.

Two of the three potential No. 1 NBA Draft picks ended up on the Second Team All-America list:. Auburn star guard Jabari Smith was 61 votes away from making it to First Team and Gonzaga center Chet Holmgren snuck by Duke forward Paolo Banchero to make it onto the Second Team. Banchero got the most votes of the Third Team selections.

The star power continued into the Third Team, though. Ohio State standout EJ Liddell came in right behind Banchero and Arkansas leading scorer JD Notae rounded out the Third Team. ACC Player of the Year Alondes Williams, out of Wake Forest, was an honorable mention.

Here are the full Associated Press All-American teams.
