Tipoff time changed for Lady Vols-Mississippi State basketball game

Tipoff time changed for the Lady Vols-Mississippi State basketball game on Thursday.

Mississippi State (15-4, 2-2 SEC) will host Tennessee (10-6, 3-1 SEC) on Thursday at Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville, Mississippi.

The contest was originally scheduled to tipoff at 7 p.m. EST (SEC Network).

Due to the inclement weather that has affected the southeast and surrounding areas, the Southeastern Conference announced a new start time for the Tennessee-Mississippi State matchup.

The contest will now start at 5 p.m. EST. SEC Network will televise the matchup. Sam Gore (play-by-play) and Holly Warlick (analyst) will be on the call.

Both teams enter Thursday’s game unranked in the USA TODAY Sports women’s basketball coaches poll.
