Tennessee is back to having a desired 25-game schedule for men’s basketball.
Shifting a home game with Tennessee Tech up from Saturday, Dec. 19, to Friday, Dec. 18, and a home game with USC Upstate back a day to Dec. 23 has enabled the Volunteers to host Saint Joseph’s on Dec. 21. Saint Joseph’s went 0-2 during the Rocket Mortgage Tip-Off Challenge at Fort Myers, Florida, in late November with losses to Auburn and Kansas but has yet to play in December due to coronavirus-related postponements or cancellations.
The Vols, who opened their delayed season this past Tuesday night with a 56-47 win over visiting Colorado, are scheduled to play their second game Saturday afternoon at 12:30 against visiting Cincinnati. It will be televised on the SEC Network Alternate channel.
As for the latest adjustments, Tennessee will face Tennessee Tech at 7 p.m. on SEC Network+, Saint Joseph’s at 6 p.m. on the SEC Network and USC Upstate at 5 p.m. on the SEC Network.
