As conference play approaches, non-conference schedules are becoming more competitive. The SEC/ACC Challenge features matchups between teams from the ACC and SEC. Wednesday’s games include:
No. 11 Oklahoma at No. 22 Louisville (5 p.m. ET, ESPN2)
Vanderbilt at Miami (5 p.m. ET, ACC Network)

Here’s a closer look at two of the upcoming games:
Mississippi State vs. Georgia Tech
Both Mississippi State (8-0) and Georgia Tech (7-0) are unbeaten so far this season. Georgia Tech received the second-most votes in the most recent AP poll among unranked teams, while Mississippi State was the eighth team not included in the top 25. The game between them will see one team lose their undefeated status.
Mississippi State faced tough competition in the Cayman Islands Classic, securing single-digit wins against Utah and South Florida. Georgia Tech, on the other hand, has been dominating their opponents with victories by 14 points or more. With both teams displaying strong performances, the matchup is highly anticipated.
Oklahoma vs. Louisville
Despite two early losses against tough opponents, Louisville (5-2) has proven to be competitive. They face a challenge in No. 11 Oklahoma (6-1), led by standout player Raegan Beers, known for her scoring ability and dominant presence in the paint.
Oklahoma suffered a close overtime loss to Duke but remains a formidable team. Louisville will need a strong performance, especially on the offensive end, to match Oklahoma’s efficiency.
The game promises to be a thrilling matchup between two talented teams, with both looking to secure a significant win.
