Kevin Durant of Texas was selected Friday as The Associated Press' college basketball player of the year, the first freshman to receive the honor.

The 6-foot-9 swingman finished fourth in the country in scoring (25.8) and rebounding (11.1) while leading the Longhorns to a 25-10 record, the Big 12 tournament championship game and the second round of the NCAA tournament.

I guess Everyone saw this coming. I had some doubt that they would give it to a Freshman seeing as how its NEVER happened before but I guess IF anyone was going to get it, it would be Durant.

Durant got 70 of the 72 votes

Alando Tucker got the other 2 votes

It was a clear choice, and I am happy Durant won it. He deserved it, without Durant Texas wouldn't have made the tourney. What a special player he is, expect great things from him when he goes pro.
