Fifteen years passed between consensus All-Americans at Arizona as Nick Johnson broke that drought with his three first-team selections last week and second-team status by the Associated Press on Monday.

The last Arizona consensus All-American was guard Jason Terry in 1999. According to the NCAA, Arizona had five previous consensus All-Americans, including Terry. The others are Sean Elliott (1987-88 and 1988-89), Damon Stoudamire (1994-95), Mike Bibby (1997-98) and Miles Simon (1997-98).

Johnson was deemed a first-team choice by The Sporting News, United States Basketball Writers Association and the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

Only Creighton’s Doug McDermott and Duke’s Jabari Parker were named first-team All-Americans by all four agencies that are recognized by the NCAA.

Johnson was also selected to the John R. Wooden All-American First Team on Monday.
