Jones, Knight on Yahoo.com 1st Team All SEC

Yahoo.com has already named their All Conference team and Kentucky has 2 players on the first team.

Brandon Knight and Terrence Jones have both been named on the first team. I don’t know if they receive a trophy or anything, or maybe just get priority on web searches.

DeAndre Liggins was also named defensive player of the year, and Doron Lamb 6th man.

In other awards, the player fans most like to see shoot but never does was Jarrod Polson and the player with the most sympathy cheers was Eloy Vargas.
