This week, they’ll play at LSU on Tuesday night and at Ole Miss on Saturday, but they’re going to play 1 more game in there, too.
On Monday night, the Commodores announced they’d added Cincinnati, an AAC team, to their schedule for a Thursday game. The Commodores provided some facts about the matchup on Twitter:
