Antonio Reeves Named SEC Co-Sixth Man of the Year, Oscar Tshiebwe, Cason Wallace, Chris Livingston Earn League Honors

Four Wildcats earned league honors, headlined by the Illinois State transfer Antonio Reeves.

League awards are out for the Southeastern Conference, and to no surprise, Kentucky has a few names on the list. 

Headlining the honors is shooting guard Antonio Reeves, who was named the SEC Co-Sixth Man of the Year alongside Alabama’s Jahvon Quinerly. Oscar Tshiebwe was tabbed to the All-SEC First Team, while both Cason Wallace and Chris Livingston were named to the SEC All-Freshman team.

Reeves averages 14.2 points-per-game and is shooting 41 percent from behind the arc this season. He has eight games this season in which he's scored 20 points or more. Reeves’ 12.9 PPG in 20 games off the bench ranks second nationally in among players who have made at least 20 appearances as a reserve.

Tshiebwe, while not as dominant as he was in the 2021-22 season, is leading the country with 13.1 rebounds per contest to go along with a team-best 16.4 points per game. He is the first Wildcat to earn All-SEC First Team honors in consecutive seasons since Patrick Patterson in 2009 and 2010. He has 18 double-doubles this season. 

The big man ranks eighth in program history with 894 rebounds. He joins Paul Millsap and Kenneth Faried as the only players since the 1996-97 season to average 12 rebounds-per-game for their career.

Wallace's 11.7 PPG has been crucial in the backcourt, as the freshman has also racked up 122 assists and 56 steals. He ranks second in the SEC with 4.2 assists per game, fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.03 and fifth in steals per contest at 1.93.

Livingston has emerged late in the season, now averaging 6.3 PPG and 3.9 RPG, manning the '3' spot in the starting lineup. He's landed double figures in four of his last eight games, rising to the occasion in UK's wins at Mississippi State and Florida, as well as at home against Tennessee.
