"We are also pleased to see Rashad and Jawad on the third team. Rashad was the leading vote-getter on the third team and I suspect would have had a good shot at being at least on the second team were it not for his being sick and out the last four games. I'm very pleased Jawad made one of the teams in his senior season."

* Sean May and junior Raymond Felton are the 39th and 40th University of North Carolina men's basketball players to earn first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors. Their selections are the 63rd and 64th first-team selections for Carolina (including multiple recipients), most in ACC history. Duke is second with 54 first-team selections, including two this season.

* This is the 21st time in 52 years Carolina has placed two players on the ACC first team. It is the first time UNC has two first-teamers since Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison in 1997-98.

* Felton is the 15th Tar Heel to earn All-ACC honors (either first, second or third team) in three different seasons. In addition to being named first-team this year, Felton was a third-team honoree in 2002-03 and 2003-04.

* Third-team selection Rashad McCants was a first-team pick in 2003-04. Jawad Williams, also selected to the third team this year, received all-conference honors for the first time in his career.
