Tennessee guards Santiago Vescovi and Kennedy Chandler have been selected to the USBWA All-District IV team, the organization announced.
District IV includes schools in the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The USBWA has selected All-District teams since the 1956-57 season, its founding year.
A first-team All-SEC and SEC All-Tournament Team selection, Vescovi has compiled his best season as a Volunteer. Entering the NCAA Tournament, Vescovi boasts career-best averages in scoring (13.4 ppg), rebounding (4.5 rpg), steals (1.7 spg) and 3-point percentage (.396).
Entering the NCAA Tournament, Vescovi has 95 made 3-pointers this season, which currently stands as the fifth-most made threes by a Vol in a single season.
Vescovi was also named NABC second-team All-District 20 on Tuesday. NABC All-District honors are voted on by NABC-member coaches across NCAA Division I.
Chandler burst onto the scene during his freshman season on Rocky Top, earning second-team All-SEC honors and being named SEC Tournament MVP. Entering the NCAA Tournament, Chandler is averaging 13.8 points, 4.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game while shooting 37.2 percent from 3-point range.
The Memphis native has also recorded 68 steals, which ranks third on Tennessee’s all-time single-season steals list and is the most in program history by a freshman.
Vescovi, Chandler and the No. 3 seed Vols begin NCAA Tournament action Thursday in Indianapolis, taking on No. 14 seed Longwood at 2:45 p.m. ET on CBS.
