MSP432P401R: I2C receive hang

Part Number: MSP432P401R

When I try to execute the I2C_masterReceiveSingle function in the driverlib library the code hangs at:

while (!BITBAND_PERI(EUSCI_B_CMSIS(moduleInstance)->IFG,EUSCI_B_IFG_RXIFG0_OFS));

The comment says "Polling RXIFG0 if RXIE is not enabled" but I don't understand what is supposed to trigger this receive interrupt flag. My full code is as follows:

#include "driverlib.h"

#define I2C_PINS GPIO_PORT_P3, GPIO_PIN6 + GPIO_PIN7
#define USCI_MODULE EUSCI_B2_BASE
#define SLAVE_ADDRESS 0b1100000


/* I2C Master Configuration Parameter */
const eUSCI_I2C_MasterConfig i2cConfig =
{
        EUSCI_B_I2C_CLOCKSOURCE_SMCLK,          // SMCLK Clock Source
        3000000,                                // SMCLK = 3MHz
        EUSCI_B_I2C_SET_DATA_RATE_100KBPS,      // Desired I2C Clock of 100khz
        0,                                      // No byte counter threshold
        EUSCI_B_I2C_NO_AUTO_STOP                // No Autostop
};

int main(void) 
{
    WDT_A_holdTimer();

    GPIO_setAsPeripheralModuleFunctionInputPin(I2C_PINS, GPIO_PRIMARY_MODULE_FUNCTION);

    /* Initializing I2C Master to SMCLK at 100khz with no autostop */
    I2C_initMaster(USCI_MODULE, &i2cConfig);

    /* Specify slave address */
    I2C_setSlaveAddress(USCI_MODULE, SLAVE_ADDRESS);

    /* Set Master in transmit mode */
    I2C_setMode(USCI_MODULE, EUSCI_B_I2C_TRANSMIT_MODE);

    /* Enable I2C Module to start operations */
    I2C_enableModule(USCI_MODULE);

    while (I2C_isBusBusy(USCI_MODULE) == EUSCI_B_I2C_BUS_BUSY);

    I2C_masterSendSingleByte(USCI_MODULE, 0x08);

    /* Set Master in transmit mode */
    I2C_setMode(USCI_MODULE, EUSCI_B_I2C_RECEIVE_MODE);

    /* Specify slave address */
    I2C_setSlaveAddress(USCI_MODULE, SLAVE_ADDRESS);

    I2C_masterReceiveSingle(USCI_MODULE);
}

My oscilloscope shows: slave address, wr, ack, data, ack, stop and then nothing and debugging confirms that everything up to the last line is executing properly so I don't understand why the slave address isn't being sent by the read operation. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions.

Thanks,

Christian
