Oscar Tshiebwe named SEC Player of the Year in USA TODAY Sports Network 2022 All-SEC Team awards

Kentucky's rebounding machine, Oscar Tshiebwe, was unanimously voted the SEC's Player of the Year. The junior forward averages 17.3 points and 15.3 rebounds per game, tops in the nation on the boards.

The Auburn Tigers won the SEC regular-season championship and enter the SEC Tournament in Tampa as the top seed. Auburn also held the No. 1 spot in the national rankings for a portion of the 2021-22 season. So it stands to reason that the Tigers would be well represented on the All-SEC Basketball Team, as chosen by the experts who cover the league for the USA TODAY Sports Network.
