"I'm absolutely thrilled to join the SEC Network's coverage of the 2018 NCAA Tournament," Taylor said. "This league is full of student-athletes and coaches who are the very best at what they do. I'm excited to help tell their stories and give insight into the most competitive conference in women's college basketball.
We had a phenomenal year in our league with seven teams making the NCAA tournament. I hope fans will join us in our coverage of Mississippi State, Texas A&M and South Carolina as they look to represent the SEC on the biggest stage in our sport."
Taylor and the Lady Bulldogs just wrapped up the 2017-18 campaign in the NCAA tournament after boasting a 26-7 overall record and second-place finish in the SEC standings.
