For the first time, SEC Network will have a full set on site at SEC Basketball Media Days. The Paul Finebaum Show and SEC NOW are live both days - October 19 and 20 - with a total of 16 hours of coverage for the men's and women's basketball preview event. The event tips-off more than 120 men's basketball games and more than 70 women's basketball games scheduled for the network this year. This year's schedule marks the most women's conference games (50) ever scheduled on SEC Network.

SEC Now and The Paul Finebaum Show will be set up in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on the concourse level surrounded by Southeastern Conference media, coaches and players.

The network's coverage of the SEC men's basketball season will both begin and end with SEC Now's onsite coverage at Bridgestone Arena, as the arena is also home to the SEC Basketball Tournament in March. Since SEC Network launched in 2014, every men's conference basketball game has been made available on national television and the network's flagship news & information show has been onsite for the tournament.

Dari Nowkhah will host the men's SEC Now: Men's Basketball Media Day coverage on Wednesday, Oct. 19, with Maria Taylor hosting the women's day on Thursday, Oct. 20. Dane Bradshaw and Daymeon Fishback join Dari on Wednesday for previews, coaching interviews and player interviews. In addition, two new college basketball analysts are set to make their desk debut at the SEC Men's Basketball Media Day and will be announced next week.

At SEC Women's Basketball Media Day, Taylor will be joined by returning analyst and former Coach Nell Fortner and Coach Andy Landers.

All SEC Network programming is also available for streaming on computers, tablets, smartphone and connected devices via WatchESPN and the ESPN app.
