Council earns AP All-SEC honors
Arkansas junior guard Ricky Council IV was named to the Associated Press All-SEC second team on Tuesday morning.
The transfer from Wichita State leads the SEC in minutes played and his 16.5 points per game this season ranks third in the conference.
Council has shown the ability to drive the basket and draw free throws all season, as his 87 free throws made and 115 attempts in SEC games ranks fifth in Arkansas program history. He is third in free throws made (138) and seventh in field goal percentage (.454) in the SEC this season.
A native of Durham, North Carolina, Council has scored double figures in 28 of 31 games this season, including 10 games of at least 20 points. He is just two points shy of 1,000 for his career.
