Big East All Americans (men's basketball edition)

SPORTING GOODS

DarLucky has ascertained
the all-time all americans for the real Big East schools (excluding Providence and Seton hall ... lists headlined by Marvin Barnes/Eric Murdock and Terry Dehere are not quite as impressive).

if the rules were put together a team using their in-college skills, I think I'd go with G'town first and it's real close between Cuse and UConn, then a gap to the rest led by the Johnnies. #s in parentheses are what team AP all american they were voted...multiple #s means multiple years (good lord Ewing!). Related: I think I read that Scottie Reynolds is the only first team all american to never play in the NBA. I'm too lazy to look up if that's true.
