Camby Tops All-America Team

Marcus Camby, the first player from Massachusetts to be selected to the first team, came within one vote of being a unanimous selection to The Associated Press’ All-America team.

The Big East became the first conference ever to have three players selected to the first team.

Camby was joined on the first team by Ray Allen of Connecticut, Allen Iverson of Georgetown and Kerry Kittles - all from the Big East - and Wake Forest center Tim Duncan.

All but one voter on the 66-member national media panel had Camby on the first team. He received 328 points in the 5-3-1 voting, edging Allen, the junior swingman who had 324.(A complete list may be found in the Stat Sheet, page C4).

Southern Mississippi basketball coach M.K. Turk resigned. He just completed his 20th season on the job.

Bill Carmody, a longtime assistant basketball coach at Princeton, will succeed retiring Pete Carril as coach of the Tigers.
