Dayton’s Obi Toppin leads AP men’s basketball All-America team

Dayton’s Obi Toppin, Oregon’s Payton Pritchard, Seton Hall’s Myles Powell, Iowa’s Luka Garza, and Marquette’s Markus Howard were named to the Associated Press college men’s basketball All-America first team.

Toppin was the lone unanimous choice, receiving 65 votes from a nationwide media panel after averaging 20 points, seven rebounds and shooting 63%. The 6-foot-9 sophomore helped the third-ranked Flyers match the program’s highest ranking and be on track for a potential No. 1 seed before the NCAA Tournament was shelved. He is Dayton’s first first-team AP All-American.

Pritchard, a 6-2 guard, was the fourth player in Pac-12 history to lead the conference in scoring (20.5 points per game) and assists (5.5 per game), the first Pac-12 player to have 1,900 points, 500 rebounds and 600 assists during his career, and the first Oregon player to be named a first-team All-American.

Garza, a 6-11 forward who averaged 23.9 points and 9.8 rebounds per game this season, is Iowa’s first first-team All-American since Chuck Darling in 1952. Howard, a 5-11 guard, averaged 25 points per game. Powell (21 ppg), a 6-foot-2 guard, led Seton Hall to a share of its first Big East regular-season title since 1993.

Voted as second-team All-Americans were Devon Dotson, Kansas; Udoka Azubuike, Kansas; Malachi Flynn, San Diego State; Cassius Winston, Michigan State; Vernon Carey Jr., Duke; third-team All-Americans are Filip Petrusev, Gonzaga; Jordan Nwora, Louisville; Jared Butler, Baylor; Tre Jones, Duke; Jalen Smith, Maryland.

• Georgia freshman guard Anthony Edwards, who averaged 19.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game this season, announced his plans to enter the NBA draft.
