BATON ROUGE – The late Wayde Sims will be honored at the 2019 SEC Basketball Tournament in Nashville next month as one of the 14 Allstate SEC Basketball Legends.
The event is March 13-17 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Each SEC Basketball Legend will be recognized at halftime of his institution’s first game at the tournament.
Sims, who was a junior on the LSU Basketball team and who won three state championships at University High on the campus, died in an off-campus incident on Sept. 28, early on what was to be the first official day of basketball practice for the 2018-19 season.
