11/25/2020 | Women's Basketball

Ole Miss and Kansas will Tipoff at 7:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network on Dec. 3

OXFORD, Miss. – Tipoff for Ole Miss women's basketball vs. Kansas on Dec. 3 has been moved up 30 minutes to 7:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network. Additionally, the network has unveiled its final assignments for the entire 2020-21 season, with the Rebels snagging seven nationally televised games.
 
Ole Miss will welcome Kansas to Oxford for the first time ever on Dec. 3 as part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. The Rebels are 2-0 against Kansas all-time and 16-14 against current Big 12 schools. The inaugural Challenge was held in 2014, with the first 10-game slate occurring in 2016. The SEC edged the Big 12, 6-4, that year, with the conferences splitting the Challenge, 5-5, the next two seasons before the Big 12 won in 2019. Each season, 10 institutions from the SEC will square off against all 10 schools from the Big 12. The format includes five home games on campus sites for each conference per season, and teams will not face the same opponent twice.
 
Ole Miss has taken part in the Challenge three times, traveling to No. 16 West Virginia on Dec. 4, 2016 (L, 66-61), hosting TCU on Nov. 29, 2018 (L, 55-50) and again hitting the road to Texas Tech on Dec. 4, 2019 (L, 84-48).
 
The Rebels will open SEC play on SEC Network with a New Year's Eve trip to No. 1 South Carolina at 5:30 p.m. CT. Other SEC Network games picked up during conference season include at Mississippi State on Jan. 10 (5 p.m. CT), at Georgia on Jan. 17 (2 p.m. CT), vs. Mississippi State on Feb. 14 (3 p.m. CT), vs. Texas A&M on Feb. 21 (3 p.m. CT) and at Kentucky to close out the season on Feb. 28 (11 a.m. CT).
