The SEC Network announced Friday that they have hired former Kentucky Wildcats star, NBA All-Star, and NCAA champion Antoine Walker as a studio analyst for the 2016-17 college basketball season.
Walker, who part of the memorable 1996 UK championship-winning team, will make his on-air debut on November 11, the opening night of the upcoming hoops season. He will be in-studio for SEC Now.
“Antoine has reached the pinnacle of basketball achievement at both the collegiate and professional level. His unique perspective and knowledge of both the conference and the sport will be an excellent addition to our SEC Now show,” said ESPN senior coordinating producer Tom McCollum.
