STARKVILLE — Tip-off between Mississippi State women’s basketball and Tennessee on Thursday inside Humphrey Coliseum has been moved to 4 p.m. CT, the school announced on Wednesday. The game was originally slated for a 6 p.m., but inclement weather forced a change.
Mississippi State has been under remote operations this week due to snow and freezing conditions, although all campuses are returning to normal operations on Thursday.
The game will still be televised on SEC Network.
Mississippi State (15-4, 2-2 SEC) is looking to build momentum on its two-game winning streak, which was capped by a win against rival Ole Miss on Sunday. The Bulldogs opened SEC play losing their first two contests against Vanderbilt and No. 1 South Carolina but are back at .500 now.
After a shaky nonconference, Tennessee (10-6, 3-1) opened its SEC slate on a strong note with three straight wins. However, UT comes to Starkville fresh off a loss at Texas A&M on Sunday.
