March 6, 200719 yr To Chris Lofton, the season feels like a roller coaster. It's certainly looking up heading into the Southeastern Conference tournament. The Tennessee guard was named player of the year on The Associated Press All-SEC team released Tuesday, edging Derrick Byars of Vanderbilt. Andy Kennedy earned coach of the year honors after leading Mississippi to its first winning season since 2002, while Arkansas freshman Patrick Beverley was an overwhelming choice as newcomer of the year. Lofton defeated Byars by one vote in balloting by 12 members of a regional media panel, with South Carolina's Tre' Kelley and Florida's Al Horford also receiving consideration. Those four made the first team, joined by LSU forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis. http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/govols/article/0,1406,KNS_294_5398419,00.html
March 6, 200719 yr Congrats to Chris and I can only hope he and the Vols have a deep run in the tournament, well both of them. Let's take bets on how long this thread will last before someone makes a TLT reference. lol

March 6, 200719 yr Congrats to Lofton and to AK. Cinci made a huge mistake by not trying everything possible to keep him around.
March 6, 200719 yr Author Congrats to Lofton and to AK. Cinci made a huge mistake by not trying everything possible to keep him around. I disagree there. Mick was best suited to clean up the mess at UC, and AK is in the perfect situation for his career. Both guys are at home and in ideal circumstances...
March 6, 200719 yr Congrats to Chris Lofton. Very deserving of the award. Lofton is great on and off the court.
March 6, 200719 yr Congrats to both C-Lo and Coach A.K. Very deserving on both of their parts. Good luck to both in their run for the S.E.C. tournament championship!!!!!
March 6, 200719 yr Should I be shocked at all that not one Wildcat is on that list? I thought Meeks had an outside shot at Newcomer of the year. I also thought that Crawford or Morris had a shot to make one of the teams, but I guess not.
March 6, 200719 yr Congrats to both!!!! This Kennedy guy is really starting to grow on me. There's just something really likeable about him.
March 6, 200719 yr Congrats to C-Lo. God knows he deserves it. He just keeps proving people wrong. I love it. GO ROYALS!!!
