3/5/2026 | Men's Basketball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced the members of their 2025-26 Community Service Team on Thursday, selecting Ole Miss guard Zach Day.
Zach has been involved with an athletic department-wide initiative called Adopt A Basket, where student-athletes help donate over 100 baskets of food and more to families in need during Thanksgiving throughout the Lafayette, Oxford, and University community to ensure families enjoy the holiday.
He has participated in "Feed The Sip," a food sustainability project within the Stronger Together MS Initiative, assisting in the collection and donation of non-perishable food items that benefit elementary students within the Tunica and Quitman counties. Zach and other members of the Ole Miss men's basketball team assisted with the collection of over 14,000 items annually.
During the holiday season, Zach helped with the CASA Christmas event, where he and members of the team supported children through the CASA of North Mississippi organization. The team helped provide Christmas gifts for a number of families to help support them through the holiday season.
This marks the 28th year for the SEC Community Service Team for men's basketball as well as for women's basketball. All 22 league-sponsored sports have had a Community Service Team since 2004, with at-large teams for men's and women's sports being chosen from 1999-2003. The SEC began this concept with a football Community Service Team in 1994.
