Juniors Jalen Jones and Danuel House were voted as All-SEC performers at the men’s basketball coaches’ postseason awards Tuesday.
House was voted onto the first team along with standouts like SEC Player of the Year Bobby Portis from Arkansas and talented freshman Karl-Anthony Towns out of Kentucky.
House, a transfer from the University of Houston, was the Aggies’ primary scorer with an average of 14.8 points per game while shooting 40 percent from 3-point range. He was named SEC Player of the Week during the week of Feb. 2 after averaging 17.5 points and shooting a blistering 72 percent from three in wins at Auburn and at home against Vanderbilt.
Jones was House’s right-hand man the entire season as the junior transfer from SMU quickly made himself comfortable in Aggieland. The junior averaged 13.6 points and a team-leading 6.6 rebounds on the season.
The Aggies next play Thursday in their first game of the SEC Tournament.
