BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Auburn's backcourt of Bryce Brown and Jared Harper were selected Preseason All-SEC by the head coaches in the Southeastern Conference, the league office announced Tuesday.

Brown was recently tabbed to the 2019 Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award Watch List, while Harper earned a spot on the 2019 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award Watch List.
