CollegeInsiders Release

Metro News: The Voice of West Virginia

Mountaineer forward Joe Alexander's great second half of the season has landed him on the CollegeInsider.com's All-American team. Alexander averaged 17 points and 6 rebounds leading the Mountaineers to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

National player of the year candidate Tyler Hansbrough and four freshmen highlight the rest of the team. Freshmen Jerryd Bayless (Arizona), Michael Beasley (Kansas State) Kevin Love (UCLA) and Derrick Rose (Memphis) were all named to the 15-player team.

Rather then assembling first, second, third and fourth team squads, the collegeinsider.com All-America team is one team consisting of 15 players. Division I coaches and NBA scouts are part of the selection process, but final decision rests with the collegeinsider.com staff.
