DALLAS, Texas — The times and ESPN networks have been announced for the men’s basketball 2020 Big 12/SEC Challenge.
The seventh annual event will consist of 10 games played on Saturday, January 25, as every Big 12 member faces 10 squads from the Southeastern Conference. The leagues are coming off a season in which both featured a team in the Final Four as Texas Tech was the national runner-up while Auburn played in a national semifinal.
