JOHN ROTHSTEIN: Hi, this is John Rothstein with Yahoo Sports. There was no NCAA tournament in 2020, but we still do have All-American teams. Let's go through my first team All-Americans for the '19-'20 college basketball season.
We obviously start with Oregon point guard Peyton Pritchard. He anchors the backcourt for the first team. He is joined by Marquette sharpshooter Markus Howard and Seton Hall's Myles Powell. Up front for the first team All-Americans in '19-'20, Dayton superstar Obi Toppin. He was on the verge of leading the Flyers to a number one seed in the 2020 NCAA tournament.
And alongside him to round out the first team is Iowa big man Luka Garza. The super skilled Garza can dominate opponents inside and out, and made a major jump from last year's NCAA tournament where the Hawkeyes were on the verge of the sweet 16 before losing to Tennessee.
Second team All-Americans right now for the '19-'20 college basketball season. This list is anchored by San Diego State's Malachi Flynn, who led the Aztecs to a season many will never forget. Devon Dotson of Kansas also on this list, as is Michigan State senior point guard Cassius Winston and Duke freshman Vernon Carey.
Another Kansas Jayhawk will round out the 2nd Team All Americans in '19-'20-- Udoka Azubuike. He was the Jayhawk's Jerome Bettis during the latter portion of the season, a master from short yardage, and was a key component and making Kansas' defenses one of the tops in college basketball.
Third team All-Americans now for the '19-'20 college basketball season, two players out of ACC right now in the front are Duke's Tre Jones and Louisville's Jordan Nwora, Nwora a player who went through the NBA draft process a year ago but opted to return to school for another season.
Three other names on the third team All-American list for '19-'20-- Gonzaga's Filip Petrusey, Maryland's Jalen "Sticks" Smith, and Minnesota big man Daniel Oturu. Minnesota not in the NCAA tournament conversation during the last month of the season, but Oturu solidified himself as one of the tops at his position throughout the year, putting up massive numbers in one of the best seasons the Big Ten has seen in quite some time.
Those are my first, second, and third team All-Americans for the '19-'20 college basketball season. I'm John Rothstein. This is Yahoo Sports.
