Florida earns three preseason All-SEC honors, picked to win conference

Florida basketball star Thomas Haugh was named preseason SEC Player of the Year while joining two teammates with All-SEC team honors.

Florida's basketball team has been named the preseason favorites for the SEC title, with three players earning preseason All-SEC honors. Forward Thomas Haugh was named preseason SEC Player of the Year, while center Rueben Chinyelu and forward Alex Condon were selected to the first and second teams, respectively. This marks the second straight season where Florida has been the media's early selection to win the conference, following their 16-2 record last year that secured the title by a three-game margin.

The team's success continues with their exhibition games against Baylor and Stetson before the regular season begins on November 2 against the Miami Hurricanes.
