BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Gulf South Conference Board of Directors has approved a 20-game conference schedule for men’s and women’s basketball beginning on December 9, 2020. Mississippi College will open their 2020-21 season on December 11, 2020.
For the 2020-21 academic year, the GSC will utilize divisional play in basketball. The schedule will feature a combination of single game matchups and two-game series against the same opponents on consecutive days at the same location. The format is intended to streamline testing protocols and reduce travel costs.
Additionally, the conference will implement a mirrored schedule, with the men and women playing at opposite sites, eliminating all doubleheaders.
The Mississippi College men’s basketball team is slated to open the 2020-21 season on the road against UAH (Dec. 11-12) with their first home games coming the next weekend against rival Delta State (Dec. 18-19).
The Mississippi College women’s basketball team opens the Greg Long era at home against UAH (Dec. 11-12) with a trip to rival Delta State (Dec. 18-19) the next weekend.
