AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn guard Samir Doughty was voted Second Team All-SEC by the Associated Press Tuesday.
Doughty's selection marks the sixth guard to earn recognition by the AP under head coach Bruce Pearl. He was also named to the conference's first team through voting by the league's coaches.
With Doughty's honor, the Tigers have had a guard listed on the AP's annual first- and second-team ballots for the third consecutive season, something that has not been accomplished since 1994-96.
The Philadelphia, Pa. native is one of the most improved players in the SEC, raising his scoring average from 7.3 points per game as a junior to 16.7 points per contest as a senior. He is on pace to be the fourth guard to average 16 or more points per game under Coach Pearl at Auburn.
Doughty has 11 20-point games so far in 2019-20 after the senior entered the season with just two 20-point efforts in 75 career games. He racked up 14 games in double figures during league action and led the team in scoring in 15 times overall this season.
Doughty is also third in conference in free throws made (148) and attempted (193).
Auburn begins postseason play at the SEC Tournament as the No. 2 seed in Nashville, Tenn. this weekend. The Tigers await the winner of No. 7 seed Texas A&M and No. 10 seed Missouri in the quarterfinals.
The game, which is set to tip off Friday, March 13 at 6 p.m. CT, will be broadcast on the Auburn Sports Network and SEC Network.
