University of Tennessee basketball player Candace Parker has been named an Associated Press first team All-American. This is her second AP award as she was a second-team recipient as a freshman.
"It's a huge honor," Parker said. "I wouldn't be where I am right now without my tremendous teammates."
Parker was a first-team pick on 49 of the 50 ballots from the national media panel that votes in the weekly Top 25, receiving 248 points. The voting was done before the start of the NCAA Tournament.
