Kentucky’s highly anticipated game against Mississippi State at Humphrey Coliseum will take place in front of a sellout crowd. The game, featuring the No. 6 Wildcats and No. 14 Bulldogs, is scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. EST tipoff and will be broadcast on the SEC Network. Mississippi State announced on Friday night that the matchup, which will be one of the most exciting games of the SEC season, is officially sold out.
The Humphrey Coliseum, often referred to as “The Hump,” holds about 9,100 spectators and is known for creating a raucous atmosphere during high-profile games. This season, the venue has been given a facelift with renovations, including an expanded student section that is sure to add to the noise and energy. Head coach Chris Jans has the Bulldogs performing at a high level, with the team off to one of the best starts in program history. Mississippi State enters the game undefeated at home this season, boasting a 7-0 record in Starkville.
This game also marks just the third-ever Top 15 matchup played at Humphrey Coliseum, and it will be the ninth meeting between two ranked teams at the venue. Mississippi State’s last ranked win came against Auburn during the 2018-19 season, and the Bulldogs are hoping to repeat that success against the powerful Kentucky squad. With the fans fired up, this promises to be an intense and passionate game.
Kentucky is no stranger to playing in challenging environments, but the sellout crowd and the Bulldogs’ strong play this season will make it a particularly tough road test. Kentucky fans will be hoping for a victory, while Mississippi State fans will be out in full force to cheer on their team to what they hope will be a signature win. The game is expected to be a thrilling contest with high stakes, and the energy inside the Hump will be electric as both teams fight for an important SEC win.
