Now that the women’s basketball regular season has concluded the SEC unveiled its end of year awards and four Tigers took home accolades.
Freshman guard Flau’Jae Johnson was the big winner, taking home SEC Freshman of the Year honors. She’s the first Tiger to win the award since LaSondra Barrett did it in 2009. Johnson averaged 11.6 points and 5.9 rebounds and was recognized as the league’s freshman of the week three times. Sa’Myah Smith also landed on the All-Freshman team with Johnson.
Angel Reese got her fair share of accolades, too. Reese was named the league’s newcomer of the year and was both a First-Team All-SEC selection and made the All-Defensive team.
