He back to school for moments like this. @PJWashington has transformed his game and become one of the best players in the country. Today he’s an All-SEC First Team pick (coaches and media). pic.twitter.com/P95U6KW7ZS

As the rest of the league now knows, @raf_tyler is far more than just a shooter. He’s one of the best all-around players in the SEC. He’s now the media’s pick for SEC Newcomer of the Year and an All-SEC Second Team and SEC All-Freshman Team pick by the league’s coaches. pic.twitter.com/H1Wj4pFaGk

Beware when @H23Ash is guarding you. There’s a good chance he’s coming for that ball. He’s definitely not letting you near the hoop. He was named SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year by the league’s coaches and to the SEC All-Defensive Team. pic.twitter.com/noGSiKqoYy
