Texas Tech and Mississippi State reunite for two games at MGM Park, home of the Biloxi Shuckers, on Tuesday and Wednesday night. The Red Raiders and Bulldogs paired up for one game last season at the State Farm College Showdown in Arlington (L, 11-5), and two years ago these programs played a pair, March 10-11, 2020, in the same venue in Biloxi. Those two games were the last two games Tech would play in 2020 once the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the remainder of the season. MSU won those two games, 6-3 & 3-2.

The Biloxi Shuckers team of Garrett Greene and Thomas Zinzarella will call the game from inside MGM Park as coverage will be provided via SEC Network+. The broadcast can be accessed from any desktop or laptop computer, any personal cellular device and television streaming services using the ESPN app. Registration for the subscription service can be found at ESPNPlus.com.

Texas Tech Sports Network will also broadcast the game over 46 affiliates throughout the state of Texas and New Mexico as Jamie Lent will have the call alongside analyst, Mike Gustafson.
