Basketball Ogilvy named to All-SEC Second Team and All-Freshman Team
03 Apr 2009
Freshman A.J. Ogilvy was named to the All-SEC Second Team and was a unanimous selection to the league's All-Freshman team.
Only LSU (six) and Kentucky (five) have won more SEC Player of the Year award honors from the league's coaches than Vanderbilt (four) since the award's inception in 1987.
Vanderbilt's freshman center A.J. Ogilvy, who leads all SEC freshman in scoring at 16.7 points per game, was a unanimous selection to the league's All-Freshman team and was honored on the All-SEC Second Team. The 6'11 freshman from Sydney, Australia, has four double-doubles on the year and is one of the league leaders in field goal percentage (4th, 58.2%) and free throw percentage (4th, 78.4%). He also leads all SEC players in free throw attempts with 208 charity stripe appearances, which is also the fourth-highest single-season total in Vanderbilt history. Ogilvy was joined on the All-SEC Second Team by Nick Calathes of Florida, Sundiata Gaines of Georgia, Joe Crawford and Patrick Patterson of Kentucky, Marcus Thornton of LSU, Dwayne Curtis of Ole Miss, and JaJuan Smith of Tennessee.
Foster and Ogilvy lead the Commodores into SEC Tournament play Thursday afternoon at the Georgia Dome when they face off against Auburn. Tip-off is set for 2:15 p.m. CST.
