The postseason awards are rolling in, with three Wildcats being recognized by the Southeastern Conference’s league honors, headlined by Oscar Tshiebwe. 

Tshiebwe was named the SEC Player of the Year, the 10th player in Kentucky history to earn the award. He was also named to the All-SEC First Team and the All-Defensive Team. 

Backcourt duo TyTy Washington Jr and Sahvir Wheeler were each named to the All-SEC Second Team, with Washington also being tabbed with an All-Freshman selection. 

Head coach John Calipari has now coached 32 players who have earned an All-SEC First or Second Team distinction. In each of his 13 seasons at the helm of UK, Calipari has had at least one of his players named to the All-Freshman team. 

The Second Team selection for Wheeler is his second in a row, as he earned the same nod last season while at Georgia.
