BIRMINGHAM — The Southeastern Conference unveiled its 126-game men’s basketball schedule for the 2020-21 season on Friday.
Conference play tips off Dec. 29 and runs through March 3. No games were scheduled the weekend of March 6 to allow a window for makeup games.
The eighth annual SEC/Big 12 Challenge will take place on Jan. 30. The four teams not participating in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge will play conference games that day.
Four SEC teams are included in ESPN.com’s Way-Too-Early Top 25: Kentucky (5), Tennessee (11), LSU (22) and Florida (25). Five teams are listed in ESPN commentator Dick Vitale’s preseason top 40: Tennessee (10), Kentucky (13), Alabama (17), LSU (19) and Florida (32).
The SEC Tournament returns to the Music City when Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., hosts the event from March 10-14, 2021.
Television information and start times will be announced at a later date.
