Courtside with the Kentucky Wildcats
The Southeastern Conference Tournament will use hip hop artists to introduce the telecast of each session.
‘Lil Mama, Chris Brown and T-Pain will perform during the introductions.
This follows a tradition of celebrities playing a part in the telecasts that dates back to author Pat Conroy in 2004.
The SEC has used country music artists the past three years: Allison Krauss in 2005, Ricky Skaggs in 2006 and Sugarland in 2007.
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
