Gophers To Start Home-and-Home Series with Mississippi State
5/28/2020 12:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
The University of Minnesota men's basketball schedule will feature a marquee home opponent this winter, as the Gophers and Mississippi State University announced a two-year, home-and-home series starting in December.
Minnesota will host the Bulldogs on Wednesday, December 16 at Williams Arena, with the return game set for the 2021-2022 season at Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville. That game date will be announced at a later time.
This is the first meeting between the two schools, while the Gophers own a mark of 20-15 against Southeastern Conference opponents. The Maroon and Gold last faced an SEC squad in 2018, defeating Texas A&M, 69-64, in the opening round of the Vancouver Showcase. Mississippi State finished the 2019-20 campaign with a 20-11 mark, including an 11-7 record in SEC play good for a fourth place finish.
The time of December's game against the Bulldogs, along with the remainder of the non-conference schedule, will be announced later this summer.
