BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Ole Miss senior forward Terrance Henry was voted to the All-SEC second team by the Southeastern Conference coaches, and junior forward Reginald Buckner was chosen to the SEC All-Defensive team, the league office announced Tuesday.
Henry receives the first All-SEC accolade of his career. He leads the Rebels this season with 12.3 points per game and averaged 13.0 points during conference play, ranking 14th in the SEC. The Monroe, La., native recently joined the 1,000-point club and became just the second player in school history with 1,000 points and 100 blocks in a career.
Buckner makes the SEC All-Defensive team for the second straight year and is the only Rebel to make the team since its inception in 2008. In his third year at Ole Miss, the Memphis native has rewritten the record books for blocked shots in a career, season and game. His 2.3 average this year currently ranks fourth in the league and 34th nationally, while his career total of 223 swats is 17th in SEC history.
Also on Tuesday, Murphy Holloway was tabbed All-SEC second team by the Blue Ribbon Yearbook. Holloway averaged 12.0 points and 8.3 rebounds in league play this year. Ole Miss is 17-9 when Holloway plays the full game.
These Rebels will help lead the team in the upcoming SEC Tournament as they make a run for an NCAA Tournament bid. Ole Miss, seeded seventh, will face No. 10 seed Auburn in Thursday's first round in New Orleans. Tipoff is slated for 6:30 p.m., and the game will be televised on the SEC Network.
Kentucky's John Calipari earned SEC Coach of the Year honors while Kentucky freshman forward Anthony Davis was selected the SEC Player of the Year by the league's coaches. Davis also took home SEC Freshman of the Year and SEC Defensive Player of the Year accolades. Kentucky's Darius Miller was tabbed SEC Sixth Man of the Year while Florida's Patric Young earned SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors.
Coaches voted on eight-member teams for First Team All-SEC, Second Team All-SEC and for the SEC All-Freshman Team. They voted on a five-player squad for the SEC All-Defensive Team. They were not permitted to vote for their own players and ties were not broken.
