SEC releases men's basketball TV schedule for '23-24
When will the Kentucky Wildcats take the floor this winter? The schedule was finalized in early September with matchups and dates set, but tip-off times were to be determined.
Consider them now determined — in the SEC, at least.
The league confirmed and released its TV assignments and tip times for 17 of Kentucky’s 18 conference matchups, the lone exception being the Wildcats’ matchup vs. Florida on Jan. 31. That game will be on ESPN or ESPN2 with tip time still up in the air.
Everything else, though, is complete.
Tip times, TV assignments
The schedule features just three late-evening midweek matchups: at Vanderbilt on Tuesday, Feb. 6 at 8:30 p.m. ET, vs. Ole Miss on Tuesday, Feb. 13 at 9 p.m. ET and at LSU on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 9 p.m. ET. Those happen to be back-to-back-to-back weeks.
The schedule then closes out with three consecutive Saturday afternoon matchups on CBS against Alabama, Arkansas and at Tennessee in the finale.
