COLLEGE BASKETBALL REPORT : NCAA TOURNAMENT UPDATE : ACROSS THE NATION : Johnson, Augmon Are Honored
Larry Johnson and Stacey Augmon, the forwards who have helped top-ranked UNLV to a 41-game winning streak as it prepares to defend its national championship, were named to the Associated Press All-America team. They become the fifth set of teammates named to the first team and the first since North Carolina’s Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins in 1984.
Joining the seniors on the first team were forward Billy Owens of Syracuse, a junior, and Louisiana State center Shaquille O’Neal and Georgia Tech guard Kenny Anderson, both sophomores.
O’Neal, who suffered a broken leg in a game on Feb. 27, was listed as a probable starter against Connecticut Thursday.
