Women’s Basketball Draws Miami At Home In Inaugural ACC/SEC Challenge
June 28, 2023 | Women's Basketball
STARKVILLE – The Mississippi State women's basketball team will host the University of Miami on Wednesday, Nov. 29, as part of the inaugural ACC/SEC Challenge. Tip-off against the Hurricanes is set for 6:15 p.m. (CT).
Mississippi State and Miami have met once in the two programs' history. The Bulldogs defeated the Hurricanes 81-67 on Feb. 27, 1987, in the Northern Lights Invitation in Anchorage, Alaska.
In conference challenge games dating back to the 2015-16 season, Mississippi State owns a 4-2 overall record. State is 1-0 vs. the AAC and 3-2 vs. the Big 12. The Bulldogs have lost their last two conference challenge games vs West Virginia and at Oklahoma.
The 2023 ACC/SEC Challenge is a standalone year. The 2023 home/away designation is not connected to the 2024 ACC/SEC Challenge. Texas and Oklahoma will join the SEC on July 1, 2024, starting a new two-year home/away equitable distribution cycle.
The Bulldogs are coming off a 22-11 season under the direction of head coach Sam Purcell. In his first season as a head coach, coach Purcell guided the Bulldogs back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2018-19 season, winning a pair of games and becoming the first team in NCAA women's basketball history to advance from the First Four round to the second round of the tournament.
The remainder of the 2023-24 schedule, including dates, times and TV information, will be announced at a later date.
