AP article:

Alabama rolls into SEC tourney, Kentucky needs every win

quote:

There’s also a dominant favorite once again, though this time it’s No. 6 Alabama after winning its eighth SEC regular season title and first since 2002. The Crimson Tide (21-6) are looking for their first SEC Tournament title since 1991 when Wimp Sanderson was coach led by the SEC player of the year Herbert Jones.

Alabama coach Nate Oats says the Crimson Tide knows they’ll be playing in the NCAA Tournament. He wants to see them hone their play after winning 89-79 at Georgia last weekend.

“And we’d like to win a tournament championship,” Oats said. “It’s nice. They’ve won the SEC regular season. If you could add the tournament to it, that’s saying something if you can win both. And then obviously that helps your seeding going into the NCAA Tournament.”

So, Dick Vitale chose five All American Teams and no Herbert Jones. He did however include Cam Thomas on the 5th team.

To be fair, he’s getting old and Herb hasn’t done much since his injury. He may of forgotten about him.

Idk I try to see the good in it.

"Talent-wise, pass dribble shoot quickness, creating offense for others, Quinerly is one of the best PG in the country. You can see why he's a McDonald's All-American. He's bought into the blue-collar. He's made us a lot better team."
