Tennessee Cancelled

[Mr Vulture]

With this matchup cancelled, wonder if there’s any chance of a replacement or if they just don’t play that day.

Eastern's close by, WSU's close by, Idaho, Montana, Montana State. Maybe even a late "exhibition game," if allowed, against a regional D2 team. Hate to see a lost chance for more game experience even if it's not Tennessee caliber.

They have a week to schedule another opponent, so I think it can be done.

The bigger problem maybe lining up a broadcaster at this late date.

Let's get Notre Dame (who also had their game against Tenn cancelled) on the phone and make something happen.

Yes.

[Mr Vulture]

Agreed....that would be a solid replacement

Montana always plays us tough - always.

I would love them, and it's 3 hours down the street.

It's going to be like this all year.

Just pray we're healthy in March

Gonzaga vs Tennessee game was 1 of 2 games comprising 2020 Jimmy V Classic. ESPN has announcers already lined up; it’s essentially the network’s most important college hoops programming...if not in matchups/significance any given season certainly in terms of sentimentality. I’m expecting a marquee team will step in to replace the Vols.

Me, too. ESPN (and Gonzaga) are working hard to find a replacement. Something tells me Zag fans will be happy with whatever matchup happens.

Well, if Baylor is still on pause, Illinois will be available.

Zags will face West Virginia

Sources: West Virginia is expected to replace Tennessee and face Gonzaga in next week's Jimmy V Classic in Indianapolis.

Great replacement!

I like when we play West Virginia. It’s always a physical battle and gives us a look versus a truly different style of play.

Agreed. They start two big boy bigs too, which will force Zags to address what I see as team’s potential weakness: lack of veteran size and toughness down low...rebounding and rim protection. Great test for Timme, Watson, Ballo et al

So I'm hearing we get to play West Virginia now? Same bat time, same bat channel? I like when the Zags are on ESPN, that way I don't have to stream a game (on ROOT).

I love West Virginia hoops fans. They're funny and passionate.
