North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough and Kansas State's Michael Beasley were unanimously named to the AP's All-America team on Monday, according to the Associated Press.
Freshmen Kevin Love of UCLA, sophomore D.J. Augustin of Texas, and junior Chris Douglas-Roberts of Memphis rounded out the first team.
"To be one of just two players in the country to receive such an honor is very humbling," said Beasley. "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."
"It's an honor. I've put a lot of work in, over the summers, during the season and staying after practice just trying to improve. I feel now that I'm finally getting the recognition I deserve," said Douglas-Roberts. "But I still say when people look at that All-American list, it's a motivation because I'm the one that people know the least about."

Isiah Thomas hasn't said whether or not he's interested in a coaching job with the Indiana Hoosiers, but he also claims that the university hasn't contacted him, according to the Associated Press.
Thomas said he hopes Coach Dan Dakich is given the full-time job.
"He's done an excellent job," Thomas said. "He understands the program. He's been intimately involved on the coaching side and also on the playing side."
"Of all the former players, he'd definitely have the support of mine and others. I hope he's someone they do name as the coach of Indiana."
