Mizzou men’s basketball senior Mark Mitchell was selected to the All-SEC second team by the Southeastern Conference coaches panel, as announced Monday.
Mitchell has been a consistent presence for the Tigers, and is leading in three categories: points, rebounds and assists. The captain is averaging 17.9 points per game, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists — one of five players nationally to have tallied over 550 points, 160 rebounds and 110 assists this season.
The SEC released its men’s basketball awards Monday. Darius Acuff Jr. of Arkansas, Ja’Kobi Gillespie of Tennessee, Thomas Haugh of Florida, Lebaron Philon Jr. of Alabama and Tyler Tanner of Vanderbilt comprise the first team.
Mitchell is the second Tiger to have earned SEC recognition twice in his collegiate career since Mizzou joined the SEC 14 years ago. He was named to the league’s third team following his junior year. The first Tiger to accomplish a similar feat was Kobe Brown, who was named to the second team in 2021-22 and the first team in 2022-23.
Mitchell also recently surpassed 1,000 career points — in his Mizzou career alone — in the Tigers’ 88-84 overtime loss to No. 17 Arkansas, where Mitchell scored a career-high 32 points.
Mitchell and the rest of the Mizzou squad will be back in action at 11:30 a.m. Thursday against the winner of the LSU and Kentucky clash in Nashville, Tennessee, in the SEC Tournament.
