Kentucky men’s basketball newcomers Brandon Boston Jr. and Olivier Sarr were selected to the two preseason All-Southeastern Conference squads by league and national media on Thursday.
Boston, a freshman, was tabbed to the five-man All-SEC First Team and Sarr, a senior transfer from Wake Forest, was one of six players on the All-SEC Second Team.
Voting was conducted by a select panel of both SEC and national media members.
For just the second time in 12 seasons under John Calipari and the first since the 2010-11 year, a season that culminated in a Final Four berth, the Wildcats were not picked to win the regular-season league crown. That preseason honor this season goes to the Tennessee Volunteers, who the media predicted will unseat the Wildcats, the defending SEC champions, in 2020-21.
Kentucky, ranked No. 10 in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll earlier this week, was picked second, followed by LSU, Florida and Alabama, in that order.
In most seasons, UK has lived up to the high expectations, having won six regular-season SEC crowns in the Calipari era and a league-high 49 overall after posting a 15-3 record last season. The Wildcats also own six SEC Tournament titles under Calipari.
