Irish star named to AP team
Associated Press
Notre Dame forward Luke Harangody, and Kansas teammates Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins are the leading vote-getters on The Associated Press' preseason All-America team.
They are joined by Patrick Patterson of Kentucky and Kyle Singler of Duke on the team selected by a national media panel.
Harangody, the only player to rank in the top 10 last season in scoring and rebounding, was a preseason pick last season and then was a second-team All-American after averaging 23.3 points and 11.8 rebounds.
Aldrich and Collins are the sixth set of teammates to be selected to the preseason team, which started in 1986-87, and the second from Kansas, joining Raef LaFrentz and Paul Pierce in 1997-98.
