Want to watch the women’s Mississippi State basketball game against the South Carolina Gamecocks online? Here’s what you need to know as the No. 7 Bulldogs welcome the No. 15 Gamecocks to Starkville.

Vic Schaefer and his No. 7 Mississippi State basketball team are gearing up for their biggest rivalry matchup. The Bulldogs are hosting the South Carolina Gamecocks tonight in what is the biggest game to happen in the Southeastern Conference so far this season.

The Bulldogs and the Gamecocks both are aiming to claim the conference this season and either team involved in tonight’s game could realistically do that. MSU won the SEC during the regular season last year and South Carolina claimed the SEC tournament title by beating out MSU for it.

So, this game could have huge downstream effects for the rest of the season in the Southeastern Conference.

How to watch the South Carolina Gamecocks vs. the Mississippi State Bulldogs:

  • Date: Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2019
  • Start Time: 6 p.m. CT
  • Location: Starkville, MS
  • Arena: Humphrey Coliseum (The Hump)
  • TV Info: ESPN
  • Live Stream: WatchESPN

If the Mississippi State basketball team wants to get a second consecutive SEC regular season championship, the Bulldogs need to make sure that they come out on top of the South Carolina Gamecocks in this game.

MSU and South Carolina will meet up again later this season, but a win tonight would give Vic Schaefer’s Bulldogs an immediate advantage over Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks in the SEC standings. So, a win here tonight would give MSU a notable advantage over its closest competitor for the conference crown.

A win tonight won’t come easy though. South Carolina enters into this game on an eight-game winning streak. But, in all fairness, Mississippi State arrives in The Hump tonight with a six-game winning streak.

Next. Three things MSU must do to beat South Carolina. dark

The Mississippi State basketball team is aiming to claim the SEC again. Coming out on top of South Carolina here would be a big step in the right direction for the Bulldogs to do just that.
