The SEC weekend series between No. 2 Tennessee and Missouri in Columbia, Missouri has postponed the Saturday game in favor of a doubleheader on Sunday.
According to Tennessee’s game notes from Friday, “Saturday’s originally scheduled game has been postponed due to expected high winds and low temperatures.
