Even though the Kentucky Wildcats won their fourth-straight SEC Tournament title, the other teams provided more competition than they have in recent years, leading to some incredible games.
On Sunday, the Wildcats battled Tennessee, emerging with an exciting 77-72 win over the Vols to claim yet another trophy.
After the game, three Wildcats — Kevin Knox, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Wenyen Gabriel — were honored with All-SEC Tournament team selections, along with Tennessee’s Admiral Schofield and Alabama’s Collin Sexton:

All five players have bigger fish to fry, though, as they’ll all be dancing in the NCAA Tournament this week. It’ll be exciting to see if they can keep up their incredible play moving forward.
