SEC announces men's conference schedule for 2020-21
COMBINED REPORTS
The Southeastern Conference unveiled its 126-game men’s basketball schedule for the 2020-21 season on Friday.
Alabama will open the SEC season at home against Ole Miss before a difficult stretch of games against Tennessee, Arkansas and Auburn, all of which are expected to be in the mix for the regular-season championship.
Auburn opens against Arkansas at home and follows with back-to-back road games at Texas A&M and Ole Miss before ruturning home to face arch-rival Alabama.
Alabama’s nine road games include Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky, LSU, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Mississippi State.
Auburn’s road games are at Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Georgia, Arkansas, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, LSU and Alabama.
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. Each SEC team plays the other 13 teams at least one time during league play. They will then play their three permanent opponents a second time with the remaining two games changing every year.
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.
The SEC Tournament returns to the Music City when Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., hosts the event from March 10-14, 2021.
