Tennessee basketball: Vols have SEC coach, player, 6th man of the year

Talk about postseason recognition! Tennessee basketball dominated the SEC postseason awards like never before. The Vols had the coach of the year, player of the year, sixth man of the year and two All-SEC players for the 2017-2018 season.

You can see the full details of the awards here. Rick Barnes was SEC Coach of the Year after taking a team picked to finish 13th in the league and finishing tied for first while scoring a No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament.

It was a well-deserved recognition for Barnes, who has worked magic for Tennessee basketball in three seasons.
