Warrick Named to AP All-America Team

SYRACUSE, NY -- Senior forward Hakim Warrick was one of five players named to the Associated Press All-America Team on March 22. Warrick was joined by Andrew Bogut (Utah), Wayne Simien (Kansas), Chris Paul (Wake Forest) and J.J. Redick (Duke).

Warrick is the first SU player to earn AP All-American honors since Billy Owens in 1991, and just the fourth player in SU basketball history to be named to the AP First Team. Sherman Douglas in 1989 and Derrick Coleman in 1990 are the other Syracuse players to be selected to the first-team.

Warrick was also named to the Basketball Times Third Team on Tuesday.

Warrick was named to the Adolph F. Rupp All-America Team on Monday and is one of five players who are now finalists for the Adolph F. Rupp Trophy, which will be announced at the Final Four in St. Louis.

Warrick, who has also earned all-american recognition from the NABC and USBWA this month, led Syracuse in scoring (21.4) and rebounding (8.6) average this season. He was named the BIG EAST Conference Player of the Year and earned the Dave Gavitt Award as the MVP of the league's tournament.

He completed his career ranked fourth in career scoring (2,073) and fourth in career rebounding (1,025). Warrick played in 135 games at SU, the sixth-highest total in program history.

Syracuse finished its season with a 27-7 record.
