June 12, 2024 | Women's Basketball
STARKVILLE – ESPN released the network schedule for the previously announced 2024 SEC/ACC Women's Basketball Challenge matchups on Monday with Mississippi State slated to face Georgia Tech inside McCamish Pavilion on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 6:15 p.m. CT on ACC Network.
The SEC/ACC Women's Basketball Challenge will follow the Men's Challenge and take place on consecutive days, Wednesday, Dec. 4 and Thursday, Dec. 5. Both events will air games across ESPN platforms.
It will be the second edition of the Challenge after it was introduced in November 2023 and the inaugural edition finished with a 7-7 tie last season. The Challenge name will rotate on an annual basis and each school will split two home and away games over a four-year period.
Mississippi State and Georgia Tech will tip off for the sixth series meeting overall and second under Head Coach Sam Purcell. Mississippi State recently defeated Georgia Tech, 84-47, in the 2024 Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament First Round last season inside Humphrey Coliseum on March 21, 2024.
Mississippi State leads the all-time series 5-1 and 2-0 in Atlanta. It will be the first time that Mississippi State has played Georgia Tech in Atlanta since a 62-56 win in the Georgia Tech Holiday Tournament on Dec. 30, 2006, and the first time that the two programs will tip off inside McCamish Pavilion.
The Bulldogs are 4-3 in interconference challenge games dating back to 2015-16 and 2-2 against ACC opponents under Purcell.
