Congratulations to these Bulldogs basketball players who shone through a disappointing season to earn SEC postseason awards:

• Sundiata Gaines: Second team All-SEC, SEC All-Defensive Team
• Dave Bliss: SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year with a 3.45 grade-point average in Political Science and Real Estate
• Jeremy Price: SEC All-Freshman Team

Also congratulations to Vanderbilt’s Shan Foster for being named SEC Player of the Year. Kevin Stallings said it would be a "travesty" if someone else won the award, and I agreed. Lofton’s a great player, but Foster really carried his team.
