Media predicts Florida basketball to finish second in SEC; two Gators named Second Team All-SEC

Two Florida Gators were selected by the media this week to represent the school on the Southeastern Conference’s preseason All-SEC teams.

In men’s basketball, seniors point guard Scottie Wilbekin and center Patric Young were both named to the Second Team All-SEC; the Gators did not have a representative voted onto the first team.

Florida (five first-place votes) was also picked to finish second in the entire league to Kentucky (21). Tennessee (1) was the only other team to receive a first-place vote.

The Wildcats had freshman forward Julius Randle picked as the SEC Player of the Year and a First Team All-SEC member. Kentucky also boasted four players on the second team including F Willie Cauley-Stein, guard Andrew Harrison and C Dakari Johnson.
