Here’s why South Carolina and LSU’s top-10 matchup has been postponed to Friday

This week there’s a huge matchup between some of women’s college basketball’s best—No. 5 LSU versus No. 2 South Carolina.

Kim Mulkey’s undefeated Lady Tigers against Dawn Staley’s reigning champion Gamecocks.

Yep. It’s a going to be a MOVIE.

However, the game’s start time will be a bit delayed. The top-ten matchup was originally slated for Thursday, January 23, but it’s been moved to Friday, January 24 with a 5 p.m. ET tipoff.

Why? Winter weather. A storm left close to a foot of snow in parts of Louisiana, making travel hazardous, especially for roads and airports.

Still, per ESPN, LSU athletics officials are confident that the Tigers will be able to fly out of Baton Rouge for their matchup in Columbia, South Carolina.
