Here’s the 2020 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament schedule

Now that we’ve finished the chapter on SEC basketball regular-season craziness, time to start what promises to be a similarly crazy postseason chapter.

The 14-team SEC Tournament begins Wednesday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The five-day affair wraps up with a 1 p.m. ET finals on Selection Sunday. ESPN and the SEC Network will provide the television coverage.

Kentucky clinched the regular-season title and No. 1 seed a week ago. The Cats finished 15-3 in league play. Auburn and LSU tied for second at 13-5. Auburn is the No. 2 seed thanks to its regular-season win over LSU. Mississippi State earned the No. 4 seed and the double-bye thanks to the Bulldogs’ win over Florida earlier in the year.
