Seniors J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams formed one of the best inside-outside tandems in college basketball this season.
And the Associated Press honored them with their selection to the All-America team Monday.
Redick, who became the first repeat first team selection since former Blue Devil Jason Williams did it in 2001 and 2002, was a unanimous selection along with Gonzaga's Adam Morrison.
Joining Redick, Williams and Morrison were Villanova's Randy Foye and Washington's Brandon Roy.
"Both J.J. and Shelden are deserving of this honor," head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "They have produced on the court at a high level all season, and throughout their entire careers at Duke. They both understand that individual awards like this come about as a result of throwing themselves into what is important for our team."
In leading the Blue Devils to the ACC regular-season and Tournament titles and their ninth straight Sweet 16 appearance, Duke's duo set several individual records.
Redick became the NCAA's most prolific three-point shooter and also moved into first place on both Duke and the ACC's all-time scoring charts. He averaged 27.4 points per game-the highest average in school history-and also made 42.1 percent of his three-point shots.
The ACC's Defensive Player of the Year, Williams blocked 137 shots this season, passing Mike Gminski on the school's blocks list. He also passed Gminski to set Duke's rebounding mark, and averaged a double-double for the second consecutive season.
