As usual, the Kentucky Wildcats have scored several SEC honors.
On Tuesday, it was announced that freshmen Kevin Knox and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were honored by the SEC league coaches. Knox was named, alongside Alabama’s Collin Sexton, as the SEC Freshman of the Year. Knox was also a First-Team All-sEC selection, while Gilgeous-Alexander scored Second-Team honors.
Knox leads Kentucky in scoring at 15.7 points per contest. He’s reached double-figure scoring in 25 games this season and has a team-high nine games of 20-plus points.
Knox is the ninth Wildcat to win SEC Freshman of the Year as voted on by the league’s coaches in Kentucky’s storied history.
