NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Alabama women's basketball head coach Kristy Curry and junior guards Hannah Cook and Meoshonti Knight made the trip to Bridgestone Arena on Thursday for Southeastern Conference Tipoff '17, the league's annual preseason media opportunity featuring all 14 teams.
The coaches and student-athletes spent the day with representatives from the SEC Network and ESPN where they not only previewed the upcoming season, but also had some fun telling stories, playing this or that and taking part in photo and video shoots. Coach Curry also hopped on the SEC Now stage for a live segment with Maria Taylor, Andy Landers and Nell Fortner.
The event on Thursday tipped more than 70 women's basketball games scheduled for the network this year. This season's slate marks the most women's conference games (50) ever scheduled on SEC Network.
