With one dazzling performance after another – the latest of which was an all-time unforgettable afternoon in the Southeastern Conference Tournament championship game – the postseason honors continue to follow for Kentucky sophomore Tyler Ulis.

The latest came Monday in the form of All-America honors from the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. The 5-foot-9 Ulis was named the USBWA All-America Second Team. He was joined by Providence’s Kris Dunn, Iowa State’s Georges Niang, Utah’s Jakob Poeltl and Iowa’s Jarrod Uthoff.

Ulis has already been named to the Sporting News All-America First Team. The NCAA recognizes four All-America teams in order to be a consensus All-American, with Sporting News and the USBWA being two of them. The National Association of Basketball Coaches and the Associated Press make up the other votes.

The USBWA will announce its Oscar Robertson Trophy winner as the national player of the year at the NCAA Men’s Final Four in Houston.

Ulis is the sixth Kentucky player in the John Calipari era to make one of the USBWA All-America teams and the third one to make the second team. He’s the 54th Wildcat in school history to pick up at least one NCAA-recognized All-America honor.

Ulis will go down in history as one of our better point guards and we have had many good point guards through the years.
