The University of Louisville basketball team landed two players on the All-ACC teams selected by the media on Sunday.

Junior forward Montrezl Harrell and sophomore guard Terry Rozier earned second-team All-ACC honors from the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association for their contributions to Louisville's fourth-place finish in the league. The All-ACC teams voted on by the league's 15 coaches will be released on Monday.

Harrell, a 6-foot-8 preseason All-American, averaged 15.8 points and 9.4 rebounds a game over the regular season. He ranked eighth and second, respectively, in the ACC in those statistical categories. He was third in the ACC in shooting percentage (57.3) and produced 12 double-doubles this season.

Rozier, a 6-1 Ohio native, finished fourth in the ACC in scoring (17 points per game) and was second in the league in steals, averaging two per contest. He scored in double figures 28 times in Louisville's 31 games this season.

ACSMA named Duke's Jahlil Okafor the ACC player of the year, and its All-ACC first team included Okafor, Notre Dame's Jerian Grant, Virginia's Malcolm Brogdon, Syracuse's Rakeem Christmas and Boston College's Olivier Hanlan.

Harrell and Rozier were joined on the second team by Duke's Quinn Cook, NC State's Trevor Lacey and Virginia's Justin Anderson. They were the only two Louisville players to receive any ACSMA All-ACC honors.
