Virginia basketball's Malcolm Brogdon named First-Team All-American by Sporting News

Add another one to Malcolm Brogdon's growing list of 2015-16 accolades: Virginia's senior guard has been named a first-team All-American by Sporting News.

Just like his ACC Player of the Year award, Brogdon's first-team All-American selection is the first for a Virginia player since Ralph Sampson.
