Dudley was joined on the first team by North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough, Florida State's Al Thornton, Virginia's Sean Singletary and Virginia Tech's Zabian Dowdell. Dudley earned All-Conference second-team honors last year.
Dudley, Hansbrough and Thornton were unanimous first-team selections.
Rice was joined on the second team by Duke's Josh McRoberts, Maryland's D.J. Strawberry, North Carolina's Brandan Wright and Virginia's J.R. Reynolds. Rice captured ACC All-Freshman Team honors last winter.

The San Diego, Calif., resident also ranked among league leaders in: field-goal percentage (second), defensive rebounding (second), rebounding (third), scoring (fifth) and offensive rebounding (sixth).
Rice averaged 17.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game in league action. The Richmond, Va., resident ranked among ACC leaders in assists (third), scoring (fifth) and assist-turnover ratio (eighth).
