Soon enough we will know if he picks up any of the last four awards. I think he has a pretty solid chance to win a few. If not, that’s okay, too. He’s a 5-9 sophomore point guard, people underestimate him. Are you surprised?

Per UK:

"Tyler Ulis posted one of the greatest all-time individual seasons for a point guard in school history while leading the Wildcats to a share of the Southeastern Conference regular-season championship, the SEC Tournament title and a 27-9 overall record in 2015-16.En route to becoming one of the nation’s elite players, Ulis ended the season with 246 assists, setting the new single-season school record previously held by John Wall. Until the season’s final game, Ulis had a streak of 28 consecutive games with four or more assists, the longest streak in school history since at least 1972-73."

Man, I love Tyler Ulis.
