OXFORD, Miss. – The Southeastern Conference and the Ole Miss men's basketball program announced adjustments to their schedule on Thursday, changing the location for their two games with Vanderbilt.
Originally set to be played in the SJB Pavilion, the game on Saturday, January 31 will now be played in Nashville, Tennessee and tipoff at 5 p.m. The second matchup between Ole Miss and Vanderbilt will take place on Tuesday, March 3 or Wednesday, March 4 and will now be played in Oxford, Mississippi. TV broadcast details for each game are yet to be determined. Date and time for the March matchup in Oxford will be determined at a later date as well.
All tickets purchased for the Saturday, January 31 game originally scheduled to be played in Oxford will be honored at the rescheduled home game versus Vanderbilt on March 4.
The change comes after Winter Storm Fern impacted the Ole Miss and Oxford, Mississippi community, causing damage and affecting the lives of all within it. Ole Miss recently announced the University will be closed through Sunday, February 8. Thousands in the area remain without power and water, as well as cellular and internet connectivity issues. Additionally, conditions remain hazardous with ice on roads and walkways, inoperable stop lights, downed trees and power lines, as well as falling ice as temperatures fluctuate.
