ATLANTA -- One day after its first loss in more than three months, Kentucky got back to winning. Aaron Rodgers Packers Jersey . The top-ranked Wildcats made a clean sweep of the awards Monday on The Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference team. Freshman Anthony Davis was a unanimous choice for player of the year and newcomer of the year, while John Calipari took the coaching honour for the second time in three seasons at Kentucky. Davis was joined on the first team by another unanimous selection, Vanderbilt junior guard John Jenkins, the only player to repeat from last years All-SEC team. The remainder of the first team included another Kentucky freshman, forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and two players from Mississippi State, junior forward Arnett Moultrie and senior guard Dee Bost. Led by Davis, a 6-foot-10 forward from Chicago, the Wildcats (32-2) romped through the SEC with a perfect 16-0 record. After a one-point loss at Indiana in early December, they won 24 straight games, a streak that finally ended Sunday with a 71-64 setback to Vanderbilt in the championship game of the conference tournament at New Orleans. But Kentucky still earned the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament and finished No. 1 in the final AP poll for the eighth time. Three of those teams went on to claim the national championship, and this team certainly has a shot at adding to that list. "I think our confidence is still here. We never lost any confidence," Davis said. "We just got to go back in the gym and play hard in practice and get ready for the tournament." The freshman showed he was ready for college, even if its just a one-year stopover on the way to the NBA. He connected on an astounding 64.2 per cent of his shots (no one else in the SEC made more than 55 per cent) and dominated at the defensive end with 4.6 blocks per game (doubling up the next-best player on the list). Davis finished eighth in scoring (14.3 points a game) and second in rebounding (10.0). "Hes the darndest thing Ive ever seen," Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings said. "What a terrific player. What an unbelievable, unbelievable player that kid is. Wow, is he good. And a great demeanour, great disposition. Wow. He is the real, real deal." So is Jenkins, a unanimous selection to the AP team for the second year in a row. The 6-4 junior was easily the SECs top scorer (19.9 points), while ranking second in 3-point shooting (44.8 per cent) and third in free-throw percentage (84.3). In Sundays championship game, still grieving from the death of his grandmother the previous week, Jenkins scored 17 points as the Commodores rallied with a 16-2 run over the final five minutes to knock off mighty Kentucky and claim their first tournament title since 1951. Afterward, he sprawled out on the court with his hands over his face, overwhelmed by the emotion. "Its been really tough for me," Jenkins said. "Just being out here with my teammates and the coaches has been kind of an outlet for me. To win the championship after 60-some years is incredible." Even with the loss, no one in the Bluegrass State is complaining about the job Calipari has done in three years at the helm. He quickly rebuilt a hallowed program that endured the short, tumultuous Billy Gillispie era, relying on a one-and-done recruiting philosophy that keeps bringing in the nations top high school talent. Calipari doesnt worry a bit that most of the guys he signs will be moving on to the NBA after a single season. He just goes out and recruits another all-star lineup. Kentuckys latest group of elite signees was led by Davis and the 6-7 Kidd-Gilchrist, who averaged 11.8 points and ranked sixth in rebounding (7.6). While the Wildcats may be short on continuity, theyve reclaimed their place at the top of the college basketball hierarchy. Caliparis record of 96-15 includes two deep runs in the NCAA tournament: a regional final in 2010 and the Final Four last season. Hes got high hopes for this group, too. "I like my team," Calipari said Monday. "This team has a little bit everything. We just have to fight through and realize that nothing in this tournament is given to anyone. Every game, we must play. Every game is a competitive game. If we think teams are going to be intimidated by us, youre crazy. Thats how you get knocked out quickly." Mississippi State knocked itself out of what appeared a likely NCAA bid just a month ago, losing six of its last eight games. Still, the Bulldogs (21-11) were recognized for the individual performances of their top two players. Moultrie, a 6-11 transfer from UTEP, made an immediate impact after sitting out the previous season. He led the conference in rebounding (10.6) and ranked fourth in scoring (15.. In addition, he trailed only Davis in field-goal percentage. The 6-2 Bost paced the conference in assists (5.3), was fifth in scoring (15.6), and played more minutes than anyone else, an average of nearly 36 each game. Florida placed two players on the second team: guards Kenny Boynton and freshman Bradley Beal. They were joined by Vanderbilt swingman Jeffery Taylor, Kentucky forward Terrence Jones, Alabama forward JaMychal Green, and Tennessee forward Jeronne Maymon. The 64th annual AP All-SEC team was selected by a 12-member media panel representing each of the conferences nine states. Nate Palmer Jersey . The Minnesota manager was chosen along with Clevelands Terry Francona as coaches to join AL manager John Farrell of Boston in the July 15 All-Star game at Target Field. Dave Robinson Jersey . - The Sacramento Kings never beat the Los Angeles Clippers in four games last season. http://www.packerssportsonline.com/super-bowl-xlix-dave-robinson-jersey/ . This weeks topics include his take on the Kevin Pillar incident, All-Star snubs, the firing of Padres general manager Josh Byrnes and more. ST. JOHNS, N.L. -- Josh Morrissey was going to get a goal eventually. He just didnt know it would come in the playoffs. Morrissey scored his first goal as a pro to help the St. Johns IceCaps beat the Norfolk Admirals 2-1 to tie their series at one Wednesday night in American Hockey League playoff action. "Its pretty nice, for sure," Morrissey said. "Ive had some really good chances here in the last couple of games and Im getting a lot more confident. I guess I knew sooner or later it would come (but) its nice to get it tonight." IceCaps head coach Keith McCambridge is happy with the play of the 19-year-old defenceman. "He has earned the trust of the coaching staff and, just as importantly, his teammates," said McCambridge. "Hes a young, top-end prospect. Throughout the playoffs he has been strong for us. He was picked in the first round for a reason. Hes a good player and hes going to continue to get better." Morrissey said that knowing his coach is behind him has helped his confidence. "Its awesome for them to have that confidence in me. The players and coaches have made me feel comfortable since (I have been) here. They have really helped me adapt to the level of play. Its a lot easier to play when youre comfortable." The IceCaps scored both of their goals on the powerr play, which was an important factor in the win according to McCambridge. Brett Hundley Jersey. "We all know that special teams are a huge piece of being able to win games in the playoffs, so for us to be able to capitalize on those chances was obviously a big part of this game," said McCambridge. "Those power plays, some games they are clicking and other games you have to try and make adjustments." Jason Jaffray also scored for the IceCaps, while Chris Wagner had the lone goal for the Admirals. Morrissey broke the deadlock when he carried the puck over the blue-line and down the left wing before ripping a high wrist shot blocker side 2:48 into the second period on the power play. Jaffray doubled the IceCaps lead when he spun with his back to the net and unloaded a wrist shot into the back of the net on another power play nearly three minutes later. IceCaps goalie Michael Hutchinson saved his team from penalty trouble late in the second. Hutchinson came up big with a glove save on Matt Bailey, who wired a shot while wide open in the slot. Wagner brought the Admirals within one when he banged in a goal on the doorstep on the power play 10:05 into the third period after David Steckel threw the puck into the crease. Hutchinson finished with 32 saves while Admirals goalie John Gibson stopped 39.
