(UNDATED) -- The Southeastern Conference unveiled its sixth annual men’s basketball coaches preseason All-SEC teams Monday, and a pair of Tennessee seniors earned inclusion. Guard/forward Tyler Smith was one of six unanimous first-team selections, while forward/center Wayne Chism landed on the eight-man second team.

A total of 27 different players received votes for the teams and Tennessee, Kentucky, Ole Miss and South Carolina led all schools with two selections each.

This was the second official first-team preseason All-SEC award for Smith, who last month was named to the media’s squad. Chism, however, was left off the media’s All-SEC listing.
