The Kentucky men’s basketball team led the Southeastern Conference with four players on the coaches’ preseason All-SEC teams, which were announced by the conference Thursday.
Sophomore guard Tyler Ulis and freshman forward Skal Labissere were named to the All-SEC First Team while senior forward Alex Poythress and freshman guard Jamal Murray made the All-SEC Second Team.
Nine of the SEC’s 14 teams were represented among the two preseason all-league teams, but Kentucky doubled the picks of any other school.
The coaches’ preseason All-SEC teams consist of a minimum of eight players on each squad, as voted on by the league’s coaches. No ties were broken.
Both Labissiere and Ulis were tabbed to the media’s preseason All-SEC First Team while Poythress also made the media’s preseason All-SEC Second Team.
Ulis, who starts the season on the Bob Cousy Award watch list as well as the Lute Olson Award watch list, appeared in 37 games during the 2014-15 season. The Chicago native led the Wildcats in assists in 20 contests while posting five or more dimes in 12 games. He did not commit a turnover in any of UK’s final four games of the season during the NCAA Tournament and concluded his freshman campaign ranked third in the country and first among league competition with a 3.6 assist-to-turnover ratio.
