Mississippi State senior forward Lawrence Roberts, North Carolina State senior forward Julius Hodge and Syracuse senior forward Hakim Warrick were also named to the team.
The announcement came one day after Kansas was named the No.1 team in the first AP poll.
Simien garnered 50 votes in the balloting, second only to Wake Forest sophomore guard Chris Paul.

FOOTBALL: Graduating seniors will look to leave their mark

Jayhawks upset the Longhorns this weekend, the Longhorns would likely lose out on a BCS berth.
"We just want to make sure we do everything we can to be successful in those two games," Mangino said. "Some parts of our game, if we elevate them, anything can happen."
Some of the players, especially those graduating, look at these last two games as an opportunity to leave their mark on the team.
For senior center Joe Vaughn, the season is not finished just because there's no opportunity at a bowl bid.
"We have to play hard." Vaughn said. "You work hard all year to play 11 games, not
nine."
The players also seem to remain optimistic about beating their remaining opponents. No one on the team appears to be concerned about Texas' 8-1 record or Kansas' inability to win a Big 12 road game.
Senior safety Tony Stubbs looks at these last two games as his final shot at leading his team to a victory.
"Guys are still in good spirits, ready to pull an upset," Vaughn said.
"Definitely want to spoil these last two teams' parties, because Texas is BCS," Stubbs said. "If you beat them, that's like beating K-State."
Vaughn has one reason why this team wants to be a spoiler.
"We'd like to spoil people's

"Anything to get a 'W'."
Notes
The Kansas-Missouri game will kick off at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 20. The game will not be televised.
At yesterday's press conference, Mangino said there would be no third string quarterback. In the event of injuries to senior John Nielsen and junior Brian Luke, snaps would go either to sophomore Charles Gordon or an injured quarterback, who would hand the ball off.
Mangino and John McCoy, the Jayhawks' offensive lineman who is serving in the Army, in Iraq, remain in regular contact via e-mail. McCoy could not disclose his location to Mangino, but Mangino said
Players of the week for the Colorado game were senior tight end Lyonel Anderson on offense, sophomore cornerback Charles Gordon on defense, while no one was selected for special teams. On the scout team, redshirt freshman Garrett Guzman was the offensive player of the week and redshirt freshman Andy Temple was the defensive player of the week.

MEMORIES: Moping, gloating can be pointless distractions

from the ones that came before it and the ones that will inevitably come afterward.
There is a lot happening during a game in a relatively tiny amount of time. In games such as volleyball, football and especially basketball there is hardly enough time to get back to the situation at hand. There is no time to dwell on the shot you just bricked or the kill you just missed.
Athletes owe it to their teams to shake off failures in order to concentrate on the ensuing successes.
Thinking about "what-ifs"
and "should have been" takes
the player out of the game mentally, causing more costly errors.
Lee has found a way to turn his haunting missed opportunity into something very productive. Taking the time and initiative to get on the court more and partake in extra workouts to better himself and his performance is a great way to turn a bad situation into a very positive thing.
Having the ability to shake off previous plays also includes avoiding too much congratulation on major successes or big victory as well. After making it to the Final Four two of their three seasons at the University of Kansas, this year's seniors cannot rely on experience alone to get them there again.
But I worry about those who let previous failures get to them. As a former athlete, I cannot say that I have never done the same thing or that it is easy to let buisted opportunities go. It is damn near impossible.
gresses, the more they have to realize how crucial it is to either turn their constant torturing of themselves into motivation to get better, as Lee did, or to clean the slate and know that you will succeed next time. If neither happens, the chances of valid and prolonged success will die a little each time a player beats himself up inside.
the higher an athlete pro-
Of course, these hard working guys know that already; they would never have gotten this far if they didn't.
Gloating takes the athletes' mind off the continuing game exactly like moping does.
Whatever the sport, whatever the situation, there is no quicker way to bring an individual or an entire team down than spending more than just a brief moment thinking about the past.
No one can condemn using the past as motivation, but in sports, a short memory is the best memory.
