Birmingham, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference released its men’s basketball preseason All-SEC teams Tuesday, and Tennessee senior Lamonte Turner was a second-team selection.
Turner also was one of nine players who received votes for SEC Player of the Year. Voting was conducted by a select panel of both SEC and national media members.
That media panel also projected the 14-team order of finish, and Tennessee was picked to finish fifth in the SEC regular-season race.
A senior guard who graduated in May, Turner on Monday was named to the watch list for the 2020 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award. He was previously selected as the 2018 SEC Co-Sixth Man of the Year as a sophomore.
Tennessee enters the season riding the nation’s longest active home win streak, having won 26 straight at Thompson-Boling Arena dating to the 2017-18 SEC Championship season.
The Volunteers’ 57 total wins over the last two seasons are the most among all SEC teams.
