    Olynyk CBS Sports First Team All-American

    More honors for K.O., this time First Team All-American CBSSports.com:
    Most Improved Player

    Kelly Olynyk, Gonzaga: He redshirted last season and came back an entirely different player. Averaged less than six points in his first two seasons in Spokane, but was the most dominant player on the west coast this season, averaging 17.5 points and 7.2 boards. No one made a bigger jump than Olynyk.

    Trey Burke, G, Michigan: He scored (19.2 ppg), distributed (6.7 apg) and also led his young team. Michigan likely would have been an NIT club without him. Instead, the Wolverines were 26-7 despite having four freshmen among their top seven players in the rotation.

    Victor Oladipo, G, Indiana: The Hoosiers won the outright Big Ten regular-season title -- and while Cody Zeller got most of the preseason hype, it was Oladipo who was the team's most consistent and productive player. He is a dominant perimeter defender and also averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and shot 44 percent from beyond the arc.

    Otto Porter, F, Georgetown: Our National Player of the Year was sensational, especially after Whittington was declared academically ineligible early in the Big East slate. Porter is versatile and led the Hoyas to a share of the Big East regular-season crown. His signature moment: Going for 33 points in a victory over Syracuse at the Carrier Dome.

    Doug McDermott, F, Creighton: His numbers are staggering and extremely efficient despite the fact he faced double-teams every time he touched the ball. Averaged 23.1 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 56 percent from the field, 50 percent from beyond the arc and 86 percent from the line.

    Kelly Olynyk, C, Gonzaga: No one had an answer for the big Canadian. Olynyk made a huge leap this season and was virtually unstoppable. He made 65 percent of his shots and led the Zags to a WCC sweep and a No. 1 NCAA seed.

    No one was even a very close second.

      You almost have to lock in that group as the AP All American First Team as well.

      The same names are consistently there as recently demonstrated by the basketball writers AA team and The Sporting News AA team.

          Apologies to Fr. Sarducci, but I'm beginning to like the Canadians

                I like the saying, it's not where you start that matters, it's where you finish. KO started the season off the radar and is finishing the season on top. Can't wait to see our AA finish this season off with even more success.
                It's not the size of the Bulldog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the Bulldog!

                GO ZAGS!!!
