KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee men's basketball guard Kennedy Chandler was named SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player after the Vols captured the tournament title on Sunday.
Chandler averaged 14.7 points and 3.0 assists per game in three tournament games. He shot 53.1% from the field during the tournament and 50% from the three-point range.
This all happened after the first game of the tournament when Chandler went down with a lower leg injury four times against Mississippi State. He did however return to the game all four times.
As a result, he was also selected to the All-Tournament team along with teammates Santiago Vescovi and Josiah-Jordan James.
Chandler helped lead the Vols to their first SEC Tournament title since 1979 with a win on Sunday and the fifth tournament championship in program history.
