Tyler Hansbrough was named first-team All-America by The AP for the second consecutive season and solidified consensus first-team All-America honors for the third year in a row. Hansbrough is the first player to accomplish that feat since Oklahoma's Wayman Tisdale and Georgetown's Patrick Ewing in 1985.
