Looks like Larkin is the only other ACC player to make it. I thought Erick Green might, other than that I can't say I'm surprised.

Also, and apparently this was actually reported last spring, but I didn't know Battier was the spokesperson for the award. Nice!

Anyone know how much the fan vote weighs into the determination of the winner?

I'd love to point out that maybe the Indiana and Kansas votes may be divided between two players, especially since they house other frontrunners, but obviously the same could be said for Duke.
