Canadians have enjoyed an excellent college basketball 10-11 season.

Brampton’s Tristan Thompson and Ajax native Cory Joseph, key members of the Texas Longhorns, both were named to the Big 12′s all-rookie team.

Joseph’s cousin, Kris Joseph of Montreal made the all-Big East third team for Syracuse. Joseph is the first Canadian to receive that honor since Bill Wennington in 1985.
