Tyler Hansbrough is the first player in ACC history to be unanimously selected four times to the all-conference team.

The All-ACC teams were announced Monday. North Carolina teammate Ty Lawson joined him on the first team, along with Florida State guard Toney Douglas, Duke swingman Gerald Henderson and Miami guard Jack McClinton.

Hansbrough leads the league with a 21-point scoring average. The reigning national player of the year and leading scorer in school history enters this week's ACC tournament 52 points shy of J.J. Redick's 3-year-old league record of 2,769 career points.

"It¹s quite an honor considering all the great players that have played in the ACC," Hansbrough said. "It's really a tough league year in and year our.

"If it's not the best league in a given year, it¹s always one of the best. I don¹t think in terms of individual awards and accomplishments, but to do something that¹s never been done before in a league as great as the ACC is pretty cool."

Results were determined by a vote of 76 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.

RE: Hansbrough, Lawson, Henderson make first-team All-ACC

sS, if you're one of these two men, what would you want to have more after your College Basketball career is over...

RE: Hansbrough, Lawson, Henderson make first-team All-ACC

I guess they blocked whatever you're trying to say again, huh? And, you are correct. They cannot be mentioned in the same sentence, because Laettner was not a FOUR TIME ALL-ACC SELECTION, baby!!!

And TH was not a back to back National Champion... BABY!!!!
- Posted by Coach K is GREAT

So they each have something the other could never achieve.
