All Five Crimson Tide Starters Make AP All-SEC Team

TUSCALOOSA - All five of the University of Alabama's starters have been voted All-Southeastern Conference by the Associated Press. AP released its 2005 All-SEC men's basketball team Tuesday.

Crimson Tide junior forward Kennedy Winston was named 1st Team All-SEC. Senior guard Earnest Shelton was named 2nd Team All-SEC, and three Alabama players, junior forward Chuck Davis, freshman point guard Ronald Steele and sophomore center Jermareo Davidson were among the five league players voted All-SEC 3rd team.

It is believed to be the first time all five starters at one league school have been voted to the AP All-SEC team since 1966 and only the third time ever. In 1949 and in 1966 Kentucky had five players named AP All-SEC.
