    Seniors dominated The Associated Press All-America team for the first time in five years.

    Jimmer Fredette of BYU, Nolan Smith of Duke and JaJuan Johnson, all seniors, were joined on the team Monday by junior Kemba Walker of Connecticut and freshman Jared Sullinger of Ohio State.

    It's the most seniors since four made the 2006 team.

    Fredette led the nation in scoring at 28.5 points per game while shooting 40.4 percent from 3-point range, a number more impressive because of the shots he lets fly from well behind the line.

    He received all but one vote from the 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. The voting was done before the NCAA tournament.

    Fredette became one of the most popular players in recent memory as teams that lost to BYU were "jimmered."
