Doug McDermott made Creighton history last season when he was selected as the school's first player on the AP All-America team. Now he has done it again. The 6-foot-8 junior forward, the second-leading scorer in Division I, was a repeat selection Monday, the 51st player to earn the honor in consecutive seasons. It's pretty crazy. I couldn't expect to have as good a year as I did," said McDermott, who averaged 23.1 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 56.1 percent from the field and 49.7 percent from 3-point range. Trey Burke of Michigan and Otto Porter Jr. of Georgetown tied as the leading vote-getters for first team, while Victor Oladipo of Indiana and Kelly Olynyk of Gonzaga were the other players selected. McDermott, who led the Bluejays to the Missouri Valley Conference championship with a title-game win over Wichita State, wasn't shocked that he was the second repeat selection in as many years, following Jared Sullinger of Ohio State. But the honor was satisfying. "It's not too surprising because I approach the game the same every time," he said. "I knew I could kick it into gear and have a special season. It's tough to do what I did with the defenses I faced. I got a lot more attention. I found ways to expand my game. I was really pleased." So was his coach, and father. "I'm just really proud of the season that he was able to put together," Greg McDermott said. "On one hand he was able to consistently put up incredible numbers on a team that won a lot of games. At the end of the day I know that was most important to Doug." Read more http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bas...reighton-bluejays-repeats-ap-all-america-team
