Two Kentucky Wildcats were honored with All-SEC designations

The 2025-26 regular season wasn't one to remember for the Kentucky basketball team. They'll try to make a postseason run, but it has been a disappointing year in nearly every way, considering the expectations before the season started.

Though they struggled, the Wildcats did have some terrific individual efforts that deserved recognition. Two of Kentucky's best got exactly that when the SEC announced the season's awards this week.
Otega Oweh started the season slow, but once conference play arrived, he was close to unstoppable. Against conference opponents, he averaged 21.1 points per game. He added nearly 5 rebounds and 2 steals per contest as well. His play earned him a spot as second team All-SEC.
Malachi Moreno was called on to play a lot more than expected as a freshman. He performed admirably all season, averaging 8.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game. He earned a nod on the SEC All-Freshman team.
Both players were a big reason Kentucky stayed above water this year. Each had big moments and big games. Congratulations to both of them.
