STARKVILLE — Mississippi State has seen another game disappear from its ledger.
The Southeastern Conference announced Monday afternoon that the Bulldogs’ game against No. 21 Tennessee scheduled for Tuesday has been postponed due to inclement weather in the Starkville area. No make up date has been announced.
MSU has now had eight games postponed or cancelled entirely this winter. Six of those games were postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19-related issues, while the most recent postponement is the second related to weather.
Monday’s announcement marks the second time MSU and Tennessee’s game has been postponed after the Feb. 4 meeting was canceled due to COVID-19-related issues in the Volunteers’ program.
MSU was supposed to play in-state rival Ole Miss on Sunday, but the game was also postponed due to the current winter storm that is making its way across the Magnolia State.
The Bulldogs are currently riding a four-game losing streak for the first time since the 2012-13 season following a loss to Arkansas on Thursday. MSU is next scheduled to play Thursday against Auburn in Starkville.
