Kentucky freshman Patrick Patterson continued pulling in the postseason honors, as he was named a Freshman All-American by CollegeInsider.com as announced by the organization.

Rather then assembling first, second, third and fourth team squads, the collegeinsider.com Freshmen All-America team is one team consisting of 16 players. Division I coaches and NBA scouts are part of the selection process, but final decision rests with the collegeinsider.com staff.

Despite missing UK?s last five games with a stress fracture in his left foot, Patterson finished the regular season as one of two freshmen to rank in the SEC?s top 10 in both scoring (9th) and rebounding (7th), and is one of two players in the league?s top 10 in points, rebounds, field goal percentage (5th) and free throw percentage (9th).

Patterson finished the season averaging 16.4 points, second on the team, and a team high 7.7 rebounds. He also shot a team best 57 percent from the field.

It is the second freshman All-America team he has been selected to, receiving second team honors from CollegeHoops.net last week. He was also named the SEC Coaches? Co-Freshman of the Year as well as being named a second team All-SEC performer by the coaches and the Associated Press.
