SEC announces lineup, schedule for its Tipoff'23 preseason basketball event

Basketball season is inching closer each day and another sign that it’s mere weeks away is conference media days taking place and the SEC gave us a nice bell-weather on Wednesday when it announced the schedule and participants in the conference basketball media days on Oct. 18 and 19.

The line ups from each of the 14 SEC schools, announced on Wednesday, feature a pair of athletes from each school’s men’s and women’s team, respectively. The event will be held in Birmingham, Alabama.

Some of the names showing up are obvious, like the reigning national players of the year from the men’s and women’s side — Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe and South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston. The Gamecocks and head coach Dawn Staley are also the reigning national champions.

South Carolina features another big name: GG Jackson. The true freshman power forward was a coveted home-state recruit, the No. 7 player nationally in the class of 2022 according to the On3 Consensus player rankings, and will be on hand in Birmingham for the Gamecocks.
