Two members of the LSU men’s basketball team received Southeastern Conference honors Tuesday, as junior center Justin Hamilton was named to the Second-Team All-SEC squad and freshman guard Anthony Hickey was selected to the league’s All-Freshman team after a vote from conference coaches.
Hamilton, who sat out last season after transferring from Iowa State, averaged 13.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game this season, posting four double-doubles and leading the team in nearly every statistical category.
Hickey, a true freshman who was Kentucky’s “Mr. Basketball” as a high school senior, ran the point for the Tigers, averaging 9.2 points per game, 3.7 rebounds per game, 3.7 assists per game, and sits third in the conference with 2.0 steals per game.
